G.O.A.L.S.

The University Honors & Scholars Center at The Ohio State University serves high-ability, motivated undergraduate students. While embracing diversity in both ideas and people, the Center fosters purposeful learning communities that enhance students’ academic and social experiences. The Center facilitates impactful, rigorous, and unique opportunities that further student success and involvement in our G.O.A.L.S.: Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement.

One thing I am extremely passionate about is healthcare. As a Resident Advisor, I am hoping to host an event that will help student’s understand our current healthcare system, healthcare (or the lack thereof) in other countries, and have a healthy discussion about the views on how healthcare is perceived in the United States and how different types of health have different stigmas in our culture. As a RA, I am also in a significant leadership role within my residence hall. I have been working on leading by example, especially when it comes to using inclusive language around my residents and other peers. I have also stepped beyond my expectations and am in the process of organizing a partnership between Out of Darkness-Columbus, a human trafficking awareness organization, and an upcoming student organization that one of my residents is creating.

I am also currently taking a pharmacy class, which is inspiring me to continue to get a minor in pharmaceutical sciences, which will greatly help me understand pharmaceuticals in my career as a nurse. Becoming a nurse is something I have always wanted to do, and it’s wonderful to expand my knowledge about my future profession beyond my required classes.
