Global Awareness: The summer of my second year, I am very interested in studying abroad in a a French or Spanish speaking country and completely immersing myself in another country as well as another language. The best way to better understand another culture is to talk and positively interact with people of that culture and learn how they think and the reasoning behind certain customs or beliefs.

Original Inquiry: As a person with Arnold Chiari Malformation Type 1, I would like to see more research of less invasive treatment for symptoms of this neurological malformation.  I am unsure that I could possibly accomplish this goal during my undergraduate time here at The Ohio State University, but I look forward to any possibilities that could possibly direct me in this direction.
Academic Enrichment: The neuroscience major I am currently in has an 88% acceptance rate into medical school. Although this was a big factor in choosing The Ohio State University, it was not the only factor. I am more intrigued by the level of knowledge of the professors here. My chemistry professor wrote our textbook. All of my professors push me and my classmates to be the best versions of ourselves.
Leadership Development: I am currently the Diversity and Inclusion Chair for my hall council and am interested in more leadership roles on campus. For example, I would like to be on the executive board of my Biological Science Scholars as well as an ambassador for my neuroscience major.
Service Engagement: Through the various clubs and activities I am involved in on campus, I most definitely will participate in volunteering on campus and the surrounding area. I have already participated in the Ohio State Welcome Leaders program as well as Community Commitment. Both programs were equally enriching regardless if I was on or off campus.
