BIO
I have been at Florida State University for nearly five years now. From my bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering to my master's degree in the same field, I have loved the entire experience. In my senior year of my undergraduate studies, I took part in the Honors in the Major program, studying a possible treatment for ischemia. Now, in my last semester of my master's program, I have decided to branch out and focus on the various ways I could improve my leadership skills.

Former president Jimmy Carter was a person known for his compassion and idealistic approach to solving problems around the globe. From advocating for racial equality during his tenure in The Oval Office to working with Habitat for Humanity in the years that followed, Jimmy Carter prioritized the wellbeing of those he worked with. This research aims to delve into the endeavors of Jimmy Carter in a way that highlights his leadership style and defines the traits that allowed him to be such an influential figure. The goal is to study and explain the various ways he achieved all that he did through the lens of various leadership concepts and theories in order to explain what set him apart from others in similar positions.
