Brief summary of research:
I wrote a play that centers on the expansion of the American niche sports to Ivy League schools pipeline overseas, specifically its growing market in China, and its effect on student athletes.

What made you interested in pursuing interdisciplinary research more broadly?
I think it comes naturally, being a double major in political science and film. I love social sciences and I always hope to find a way to express what I learn and what I experience using creative means.

What made you initially interested in researching your project in particular?
I stumbled upon an article from The Atlantic that discussed the disappearing golden key to Ivy League admissions-niche sport. It was taken down because of, well basically, fraud, and that piqued my interest.

Describe your experiences with research thus far in your career?
All things considered, my research went quite well.

Any tips or advice you have for students interested in pursuing undergraduate research?
Do it. Dream big.

If you had unlimited time, money, resources, support, etc. what is something you would research?
I would make this one into a stage performance.

What meme lives rent free in your head?
Bernie asking for money.

What is your favorite breakfast food?
Muffins.
