Daisy.S’s Profile
Forensic, Child, and Development psychology
Hi!, my name is Daisy Salas. I am a full-time student at City Tech. I am currently in the Liberal Arts and Science major but, I am extremely interested in pursuing a psychology degree. I am fascinated with learning how and what drives individuals to do certain things. Also, something that I am passionate about is helping children or helping anyone, in general, overcome difficulties and evaluate how past experiences shape out a person. Therefore, some of my interests include doing research in behavioral science. A few of my personal attributes are that, I am an incredibly patient individual. I am aware that things or success don’t happen overnight and so it is important to know how to manage when a situation like that presents itself. In addition, I am a team player. I enjoy working with people and taking in their input, thoughts, and opinion; so that together we can better our work or a project. In all, I anticipate on becoming more knowledgeable of this field, as well as advancing in my education and career in the NIH Bridges Scholars 2017 cohort 3.

My Projects
Strengthening Research Interactions through Digital Expression (STRIDE)
STRIDE is a digital infrastructure using the OpenLab platform that converges a variety of science resources and applications bearing a capacity for enriched engagement in research, and community building. More that a mere website for the NIH Bridges to the Baccalaureate at City Tech, it will contains the following components: • A resource center of digital presentations of faculty mentors research interests/profiles. • A multimedia library of faculty/student research project presentations. • An online journal of students’ scholarly works in research including the sharing of conference abstracts and papers. • Digital platform for an interactive research community that includes online social media.
