Year in Review

My freshman year at Ohio State has witnessed great personal growth. When I started here, I felt new to everything and very inexperienced. As the year has progressed and come to a close, however, I have taken part in many noteworthy moments. I obtained a leadership role on the executive board of MEDLIFE (Medicine, Education and Development in Low-Income Families Everywhere) the first week of school as the Collaborative Events Chairman. I recently, however, obtained the position of Fundraising Coordinator for the 2016-2017 school year. I have gained volunteering and hospital experience by volunteering weekly in the James Cancer Hospital in the Wexner Medical Center. I started fall semester in the Emergency Department, but moved to the Radiology Department in the Spring. Both the MEDLIFE and hospital positions have taught me valuable responsibilities as well as medical experience and social skills. I also recently obtained a position as Resident Adviser for the 2016-2017 school year. This will be a major part of my sophomore year and I look forward to the experience and the challenge.
