How did you hear about the lab?

I found out about the lab through URAP. I was looking for research and read the description for the disability lab and thought it would be a great opportunity. This is my first semester with the lab. 

What made you want to join?

I wanted to join the lab because I liked its mission of being completely centered around disability. Having the driving force for projects be people with disabilities’ lived experiences makes the research much more relevant and meaningful.

What project are you working on now? What’s your role? 

I’m currently working on the RAMP app within the data research team.

Future vision for lab?

For the future of the lab, I wish to see it grow and expand to other universities, driven by the same mission. It would also be really cool if the RAMP app is expanded to be used for multiple UC campuses.

Anything you want to share about the lab. 

Lab culture is really fun and the people are wonderful and super compassionate.
