Undergraduate research was a goal of mine since high school, and one of the reasons I came to Illinois was because of the opportunities to do that. My diverse background and strong skill sets specifically in technical writing, scripting, and Web programming areas made me attractive as an Honors project student for Professor Eric Pop, whose research group I subsequently joined in Spring 2008.
My persistent initiative and commitment provided me a number of leadership opportunities and successes. Among these I note the publication of conference papers which have offered me the opportunity to network with experts in the field and assume the various responsibilities of a first author including giving a presentation.
Within our research group, I have gradually developed my skills in communicating and working with students and faculty.
