Hi everyone! I’m Gabriella and I am a Psychology major, Pharmaceutical Sciences minor, and Pre-Optometry student. I am from about 20 minutes outside of Cleveland, OH (Avon Lake). When applying to college, I knew I wanted to go to a big university with a lot of great opportunities (and a great football team) and Ohio State checked all the boxes! I joined the Honors Program because of the smaller class sizes and close connections that can be made. Following undergrad, I hope to go to Optometry School. As of right now, I hope to pursue residency in Pediatric Optometry following Optometry School. Over the summer, I am shadowing in different optometric specialties. Outside of class, I am involved in planning and coordinating sorority recruitment for my sorority, Gamma Phi Beta. Additionally, I have an on-campus job at the RPAC front desk. Recently, I completed the STEP program and I am studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark in May 2025. My best advice is that Ohio State can be overwhelming at first, but becoming involved and finding your home away from home can make a large campus feel much smaller. Feel free to reach out if you need anything :)
