My name is Jessica Doleh, but most people know me as Jesze (pronounced Jesse). I am from Newburgh, IN, a suburb of Evansville, and plan to major in Zoology with a possible minor in French. During my time at Ohio State I plan to study abroad in Madagascar, so that I can observe one of my favorite animals, the lemur, in its natural habitat. I have been an active volunteer at Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden since 2011. My hundreds of hours volunteering there has taught me to grow as a person and helped me realize I want to continue being a part of an Education Department in the future. Ultimately I would love to be the next Jane Goodall, except studying Lemurs, but more realistically I would like to be either an Education Director or Director of an AZA Accredited Zoo. If I decide to be a director, I intend to get a masters in business. Academically I plan on trying my best to learn the material and apply it to my work. I love animals and the environment, which is why being an ENR Scholar perfectly compliments my Zoology degree. I have often been called a tree hugger because I am always reminding others to be aware of their paper usage and to keep in mind their effect on the planet. I love spending time outdoors, especially hiking and sight seeing. Recycling is also a huge part of my life. Last year I got my high school to begin recycling more than just paper. Often times I cannot go more than a day or two without reminding somebody that they can recycle what they were about to throw away. Ever since I began school, I have always loved learning and helping others learn, therefore I plan on making the most of my time at Ohio State and learning as much as I can from my professors and fellow students.
