Abstract

Hello and welcome to my eportfolio! My name is Nojan Bajestani and I’m an upcoming third year bio major here at osu. On this site you can find information about me, many of my past, notable experiences in “artifacts”, my career goals, and other posts that reflect my time here at Ohio State. I also briefly discuss past high school experience!

One of my goals as a freshman was to help decrease educational disparity among minorities in colleges and spend time improving the community around me. I’m happy to say that during the summer of 2019 I will continue volunteering at the Ohio Hispanic Coalition. I’ve been with this organization for two years now, and I absolutely love it —  it’s somewhere I get the opportunity to help kids love to learn, build confidence, manage maintain a healthy lifestyle, and get the most out of their day!

Similarly, this summer I’ll be working as a student research assistant in Core Lab here at Ohio State. Core Lab is a radiology lab focused on understanding the efficacy of pembrolizumab as a medication to patients with high level diseases. I try to stay involved my fraternity Phi Delta Epsilon through involvements in the New Members committee, co-heading book club, and through organized events. Likewise, in my club, HIM, I try to work within the service committee to create projects within the community and help bring in speakers. I also try to stay active in my scholars program and be proactive within its community.
