About Me
Hi, my name is Helen Victoria Aber and I am a first-year student at The Ohio State University. I am in the Humanitarian Engineering Scholars program, and I plan on majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering and minoring in Spanish. I hope someday to be fluent in Spanish, and travel either for study abroad or for my job. In high school, I was a part of Habitat for Humanity club, and SPRING Initiative club. Both of the clubs worked to help the disadvantaged population of Clarksdale, Mississippi through working to improve the housing situation and tutoring children in public schools, as well as their families, respectively. I was also business captain of my FRC Robotics team where our team won the FRC Entrepreneurship Award at the 2017 Peoria Regional Competition. I also played varsity soccer and cross country for three years. This past summer I worked as a Day Camp Leader at Leonhard Recreation Center for my second year, and as a Swim Lesson Instructor at Sholem Aquatic Center. During the school year I worked as an After School Program Leader at Leonhard Recreation Center. I enjoy working with children, and hope to incorporate my passion for helping children into my college career and beyond.
My top five themes from the Gallup CliftonStrengths report are strategic, learner, individualization, empathy, and adaptability. I can see how I am someone who is strategic because I always try to consider all possible options when approaching a problem. I enjoy unpacking problems and using patterns. Similarly, I am a learner since I have a strong desire to learn and expand my outlook on the world. I am talented in individualization because I am interested in what makes people different, and how unique people can work together. I am also very empathetic because I can very easily imagine what it feels like to be in other people’s situations. I live in the “now” and take things as they come, making me talented in adaptability.
