How Did You Join the ISLT Program at FSU?
I joined the ISLT Program in Fall 2024. I discovered ISLT during my PhD application process, and after an online meeting with Dr. Vanessa Dennen, I knew this was the right program for my doctoral studies. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be part of ISLT and believe this will be a turning point in my academic career. The faculty is outstanding, and the experience of being part of my cohort is truly amazing.

Research Interests
Keywords: Social Media; Decision-Making; College Students.
My research interests focus on understanding the role of social media platforms in influencing undergraduate students’ decision-making processes in academic and professional contexts. As a pervasive social environment, social media is deeply integrated into the lives of college students. These digital platforms often serve as primary sources of information and guidance; however, their impact on critical educational decisions remains underexplored, presenting a significant opportunity for further research in this area.
