My name is Kelly Franz and I am a first-year Business Scholar and Honors student pursuing a finance degree at the Fisher College of Business. I am a responsible and motivated individual with a willingness and a continuous desire to learn. My commitment and leadership abilities along with the previously stated qualities will allow me to excel academically, personally, and professionally. Currently, in addition to Business Scholars, I am involved with Fisher Citizenship Program and Undergraduate Finance Association. I maintain an on-campus job at Ohio Union Espress-OH and recently participated on a Buck-I-Serv trip to Fort Hood, Texas, to give back to the military community and the Boys and Girls Club of Central Texas. For the 2017-2018 school year, I will serve as an Honors & Scholars Ambassador and participate in the STEP program. I am passionate about traveling, sports, and all things Disney.

As a finance major, I aspire to work for a major company, but am still exploring career options that interest me within the field. It has always been my dream to work for the Walt Disney Company. To accomplish this goal, I hope to participate in the Disney College Program or study abroad during my time at Ohio State. To enhance my professional skills and further explore career paths in business, I will be an intern at Cypress Benefits Group in Glencoe, Maryland, for the 2017 summer.
