About Me

Hi everyone! My name is Anna Chen and I am a second year majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Business at the Ohio State University. I am from Columbus, Ohio, and went to Worthington Schools for most of my life. I graduated the top of my class with the Honors Diploma from Worthington Kilbourne High School, May 2017. During high school, I was very involved and held various leadership positions in the school organizations. I swam for my high school’s swim team for all four years, and am a 3 year varsity letter winner. Additionally, I have played the flute since 6th grade, and was a part of Wind Ensemble, our high school’s highest level band.

I was the vice president of our National Honor Society chapter, in which I designed a website to promote our chapter’s beliefs and promote the many volunteer opportunities available locally in Columbus. Additionally, I was the secretary of the Tri-M Music Honor Society, a musical honor society created to unite the performing arts, including Band, Orchestra, and Choir. For the past few summers, I worked as a lifeguard for the Worthington Pools, where I was able to be a part of the facility I grew up in and watch over the well-being of the community. Furthermore, I have worked as a Machine Judge for the past two elections, including the November 8, 2016 General Election, helping citizens vote.

In college, I have joined many student organizations as well. I have continued my passion for swimming and music by joining Club Swimming at Ohio State and Collegiate Winds. Additionally, I am part of the leadership board for the upcoming student organization Collegiate Winds and J2K, a student dance organization, specializing in K-Pop, J-Pop, and more. I am also a part of Alpha Epsilon Delta, a pre-med student organization, where I am going to be volunteering at the Physician’s Free Clinic, a clinic that provides heath care to those who cannot afford it.

I am proud and excited to be a student of the Ohio State University.  My ultimate goal is to go to medical school and become a primary care doctor. My passion is working with children and making sure they are growing up with the best healthcare possible. I want to make an impact in children’s lives, and help them dream big and achieve their goals. I also want to pursue undergraduate research, preferably in biochemistry or microbiology. Going to the Ohio State University, I believe I can achieve my goal no matter how tough or long it takes.
