This past semester, I made the decision to rush Delta Omega Kappa, Ohio State’s only pre-health sorority. I was extremely honored to have been selected to become an active member. The key objectives of the sorority which spoke to me personally were the focus on professional development, service, and leadership. I look forward to being surrounded by like-minded and academically-driven women to motivate me to pursue my future career in healthcare.

In January, I was accepted into the OSU Women in Medicine Mentorship Program. On January 19th, the group of accepted undergraduate students as well as the OSU Medical School students hosting the program met in a lecture hall. A guest speaker who both taught at the university and worked as a physician spoke to us about her experiences in achieving her current career. We then broke off into smaller rooms in which we were matched with a specific mentor to talk with. All in all, it was a great experience and I plan to talk with my mentor in the future as I work on my medical school application.
