Meet the Peer Research Consultants

Hello, my name is Allison! I'm a senior majoring in applied mathematics and chemistry. I've been involved in research since early high school, and I enjoy learning about topics that I'm not familiar with. Teaching is something I enjoy quite a lot, and I love to see others learning new things! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and playing video games. This is my third year as a Peer Research Consultant, and I'm very excited to be here to help!

Hi, my name is Nicole! I am a junior from Las Vegas, majoring in English with an emphasis in writing and a minor in journalism. I like to research literature and pop culture, but I am also interested in researching topics beyond my major. I enjoy helping others with their own research endeavors. In my down time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, and crochet.
