Hello, my name is Elizabeth Croop. I graduated from Olentangy Liberty High School in Powell, Ohio in May of 2018. I am a Speech and Hearing Sciences major in the College of Arts Sciences here at The Ohio State University. In the future, I hope to be a pediatric speech pathologist specializing in treating the the speech necessities of children with autism spectrum disorder. Here at Ohio State, I am involved in Advocates for Communities and Education Scholars, the Ohio State chapter of Autism Speaks, The National Student Speech-Language and Hearing Association (NSSLHA), and Cru, a christian movement on campus.  During my high school career, I developed my love for working with children through volunteering in my churches nursery and the frequent babysitting of my young neighbors. In my free time, I enjoy singing and playing the piano for my church, reading, playing with my 2 little brothers, and playing tennis. I am very excited to begin my college experience and make lifelong connections and memories while furthering my education.
