Senior, Third Year Mentor
I chose the honors program because of the rigor of courses it provides as well as the opportunity to connect with like minded peers. After graduation, I plan to get a job in the actuarial field, be that in insurance or consulting. In terms of extracurriculars, I am president of the Actuarial Club and participate in the Big Data Analytics Association here on campus, and in my free time, I like to hang out with friends, listen to K-pop, or play rhythm games. I currently live in Cleveland but I’m originally from Houston, and in both places I have been exposed to all different types of people and cultures, which has really inspired me to travel and experience the world. My favorite OSU class that I’ve taken was Chinese 4404 which is a Chinese Drama class. Professor Sieber was really knowledgeable on the subject and I learned a lot while I was there that I never would have learned otherwise. Finally, my biggest piece of advice for students is to really get to know campus and the Columbus area. It’s gonna be your home for four years, so really try and enjoy it. There is great food on and off campus and plenty of performances and sporting events, as well. If you need any recommendations on cool stuff to do while you’re on campus, I’d be happy to provide some suggestions :)
