About Me

Hi! I’m Stephanie Fink, and I am an English major with a focus on Film, Literature, and Pop Culture Studies! While I pursue this degree I will also be taking the courses required for medical school to put myself on track to be a pediatrician in the future! Though it may seem like an odd and unnatural mixture, I look forward to using my English degree to propel me into a successful future in the medical field. When I’m not studying I love to participate in social activism, art appreciation, and learning about the world. I’m so excited for the next four years and more!

Year in Review

[ “Year in Review”  is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student.  You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.  For more guidance on using your ePortfolio, including questions and prompts that will help you get started, please visit the Honors & Scholars ePortfolio course in Carmen.

G.O.A.L.S.

I plan to fulfill the Global Awareness part of the G.O.A.L.S. set forth for honors students by taking classes that expand my knowledge of different cultures that I don’t know about. I hope to take English and Literature classes that explore various cultures and topics so I can gain a new understanding of cultures I have not been exposed to and what their authors have to share about their view of the world. I also hope to travel abroad through Ohio State to compliment my degree while also using the immersion to gain new experiences in a different place.

I hope to pursue Original Inquiry by participating in research at Ohio State. I would love to get a job in a lab that will help me learn about research in the medical field and add to my undergraduate experience. Also, I hope to inquire about research that my professors may be conducting and see what I can learn through them. This aspect of the Honors and Scholars G.O.A.L.S. is important to me because I hope to make my influence on the medical field and I can begin to learn how to do so as an undergraduate student at a top research institution.

I want to enrich my education by taking general education courses in a wide variety of subjects and maintaining honors quality coursework to ensure that I am getting the most out of my time at Ohio State. Being an English major who is planning on going to medical school, I take courses all along the spectrum of the sciences and the humanities, and I hope to graduate as a well rounded student in these subject areas and other areas through rigorous courses that I am able to take out of interest.

Leadership Development was a big part of my high school career and I hope to continue this development at Ohio State. I have joined a few clubs at Ohio State thus far such as Scarlette Magazine, #FightForHer, and Students Demand Action, and I can’t wait to explore more clubs in my years at Ohio State. I have an interest in student government and student political advocacy and I hope to take on leadership roles in clubs and organizations like these that fit my interests. This will harvest my leadership abilities and make me a competitive applicant in the work force through the experiences I can gain at Ohio State.

Service Engagement is important to me because I feel that every person has a beneficial role to play in this world, and I know that many organizations at Ohio State can help me become a helpful world citizen. Through service clubs like the Harry Potter Alliance or pairing with Columbus organizations like Equitas Health, I can make my positive mark on the world starting in Columbus. I am invested in helping in the medical field through volunteering and fundraising for charities, and I plan to grow through these experiences at Ohio State to make my career meaningful.
