Global Awareness: Being at Ohio State has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zones and look more seriously into study abroad programs. Throughout my college, CFAES, many programs are offered which cater to my major and career path. I am interested in studying in Australia or Costa Rica. Pursuing a study abroad would give me the opportunity to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for other countries and cultures.

Original Inquiry: Ohio State has revealed to me the importance and value behind research for a STEM major. Through a program I am a part of called LSAMP, I have learned more about the research process and how to pursue undergraduate research. I was able to participate in a summer-long research internship through LSAMP, which introduced me to the world of research here at OSU. I hope to eventually work in a research lab on campus during the academic year, and continue to pursue summer opportunities.

Academic Enrichment: In order to maximize my academic experience here at OSU, I am aiming to take a wide range of courses within my major. While I have the potential to graduate early, I want to be able to take full advantage of the opportunities here at OSU. I plan on using my senior year to take courses which will allow me to be a more well-rounded student and increase my preparation for professional school.

Leadership Development: I have been able to develop my leadership skills at OSU by being a part of the Barrett/Nosker Hall Council Executive Board, in which I serve as the representative for Biological Sciences Scholars and as the Sustainability Chair. This experience has allowed me to grow as a leader and seek opportunities in which I am able to use my skills. I am also the Selections chair for the Sophomore Class Honorary, Romophos. In addition, I am the coordinator of a STEM Education outreach program called Scientific Thinkers.

Service Engagement: I am the coordinator of an outreach program called Scientific Thinkers which aims to encourage the use of science at the elementary level. Every other week we visit Innis Elementary School, a public elementary in Columbus. We focus on teaching the kids fun science experiments in which they are able to get a more hands-on experience with science and how the world around them works.
