Hi! I’m Kayla and I’m a Data Analytics major with a Studio Art minor from Cleveland, Ohio. I chose OSU because I liked all the opportunities that a big school would provide. I was unsure about my career path and major when I first started college, but I knew OSU would give me a great education in whichever field I chose to pursue. I was also drawn to the honors program because of the academic challenge and community it offered. After graduation, I hope to get a job in the data analytics field. Outside of being a peer mentor, I am involved in Girls Who Code, ACM-W, and University Band. In my free time, I enjoy drawing and painting, watching movies, and going thrifting. My biggest piece of advice would be to get involved as much as possible. OSU can be very overwhelming so getting involved in clubs and activities is the best way to make it feel smaller and find your people.
