The purpose of this study is to conduct research for my senior undergraduate thesis, which will focus on the importance of musical spaces in cultivating belonging for Brazilian and Angolan migrants in Lisbon. In Southern Europe, immigrants often lack resources and are marginalized. It is crucial to study the ways in which migrants in this region make a place for themselves and create community - music is one such way in which migrants cultivate belonging.

We are doing a survey to learn about swallowing problems, like trouble swallowing food or drinks, in college students. The survey asks questions to see how often these problems happen and what students do to manage them. This will help us understand more about these issues and raise awareness so students can get help if needed.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) in public library programming on the social lives of teenage participants. The first question this study seeks to answer is, how do TTRPG programs at public libraries affect the social lives and well-being of teens who participate in them regularly? Second, how does TTRPG programming affect the program participants' perceptions of and engagement with the public library in general? These questions will be answered using a combination of focus groups and interviews. Focus groups will be conducted with two groups of teenagers who regularly play TTRPGs at their local public library, and interviews will be conducted with two librarians who organize and facilitate TTRPG programming at their workplace. The study is expected to reveal how important TTRPG programming is to these teens' sense of belonging and use of services at their local library.

I am researching how foster parents seek information about mental health resources in North Carolina. Recently, a state-wide needs assessment showed that foster parents struggle to find mental health resources for the foster children in their care. This adds to the issues of not feeling supported, which is one of the main reasons foster parents quit. The goal of this research is to help foster parents feel supported and improve retention.
