Alanis Villaquiran
My name is Alanis Villaquiran and I am currently a Junior at Florida State University in the UROP program.

As for clinical interest, I am interested in the mental health sector because the same as I said for psychology there is still so many questions that have yet to be answered regarding mental health, and being able to do research on this topic could help advance or bring us one step closer to understanding and bettering this sector. My hobbies are working out, going on nature walks, or watching crime scene documentaries or really anything related to criminal justice.
