To achieve gaining forty hours of service experience, I worked with the Wexner Medical Center Emergency Department and Girls on the Run, a local organization with the mission of empowering young women through wellness and exercise. Working at the wexner medical center weekly, I escorted patients and families throughout the entire hospital to ensure that they got to the correct destination within the medical center. When I worked in the Emergency department as a greeter, I cleaned the waiting area to ensure a healthy environment for the patients. In addition, I worked with the medic and the patient experience advocate to help patients and families navigate the expansive emergency department for their treatments.

While partnering with Girls on the Run, I raised funds with my sororities’ philanthropy program and volunteered at the 5k race here in Downtown Columbus. It was very moving to watch all the girls complete the first 5k with the help of the Girls on the Run coaches and teammates. Cheering them on was one of the most moving experiences during my time at Ohio State because you could see the determination on their faces to finish and just how proud they were when they did finish their first 5k race.
