It may sound modest when Kyle Coutray says, “I don’t absorb complex topics instantly.” Yet this is a senior pursuing two demanding majors, devoting his time at UCF to understanding the most complex system ever discovered — the brain —and turning that knowledge into tools that help people.
Managing material at that level requires discipline, and Coutray relies on habits like writing things down, studying late with flashcards and breaking big ideas into manageable parts. That steady approach reflects a deeper drive, one he credits to both his parents and his faith.
