About Me

| coleman.1075

Hello, my name is Meranda Coleman and I am a part of the class of 2024 at Ohio State University. I am currently dual majoring in criminology and psychology. I am involved in Advocates for Community and Education Scholars (ACES), Pen PALS, OSU4PAWS, and I live in Smith-Steeb. My personal interests consist of playing with my beautiful dog, Gemma, enjoying warm weather outside, and spending time with my friends making memories. So far, my favorite thing about being on campus is the availability of outdoor seating and grass areas I can choose from to do work outside.

As I continue my education and career I am interested in working with government affiliates such as BCI, FBI, or even CIA. I am in the process of searching for internships in the Columbus area to gain work experience and expand my professional profile. By spring of 2024, I plan to hold a permanent part-time job in the business district to hopefully move to full time after graduation.

Mentor Outing with Anna Enriquez
Meranda and Anna at The Shoe following the ACES Scavenger Hunt event.
  • At this event, my mentor and I adventured around campus to find popular and hidden landmarks that were key to thriving as a student on campus. She showed me her favorite spots and I was even able to help find some places. This partnership has allowed me to have someone to confide in when I have issues and also has helped me plan my schedule due to our similar majors.

Past into Passion

  • This essay was originally my Common Application essay 1, which I used to apply to colleges. This piece shows how I have grown as a writer and what events and life changes have led me to be the person I am today. Written in my senior year of high school, there are many changes that should be made to this paper, but as is, it shows how I have grown both as a writer and as an individual.
High School Volunteering
Leo’s Club collecting and gathering pet food to distribute around the community.
  • As the president of this club in high school, I was in charge of most of this collection drive and distribution. This event gave me insight into how in need our community was and opened my eyes to the hardships many encounter, even where I grew up. This moment encouraged me to find new ways to help and to continue this effort into college and throughout life.
