A lot has changed since the last time that I posted on the “about me” section. It is fun to look back and see how things have changed. I could have never imagined that two years later we would be in the middle of a global pandemic where the world looks completely different as do my academics. Getting sent home from campus due to the virus in March of my sophomore year was a crazy experience. Since then, I have been adjusting but also taking the time to focus on what is important to me. During the first few months of finishing classwork from home, being unemployed, and moving back in with my mother, I realized that I had strayed away from my passions. I had got caught up in what I thought was the “right” career path. I decided to go back to my roots which are music, theatre, performance, etc. I want to combine all of my passions into a career path. This is why I now am double-minoring in theatre and music, media, and enterprise along with my major within the business school. I will be combining my passion for business with my passion for the arts. I have been around the arts my entire life and it makes so much sense for me to continue to do so. I hope to work in entertainment, live music, or for a streaming service or talent agency after graduation. Right now, my goal is to move to New York City after graduation. I have been spending a lot of time of quarantine reading books about the industries, networking, watching documentaries, etc. to best prepare me for the career path I want. I also took a summer class to better prepare myself for the next school year. I am excited to take my first music, media, and enterprise class this upcoming semester. I hope to get involved with different music, entertainment, and concert organizations on campus as well as apply for internships throughout the school year and next summer within the industries. It may have taken a global pandemic, but I have finally figured out what career path will make the happiest.

Hi! My name is Kylie Gambone and I am a freshman at the Ohio State University on the pre-law track pursuing a degree in business with a specialization in accounting and a minor in musical theatre. I am from Minerva, a small town in Ohio. I am a STEM Exploration and Engagement scholar and a member of Undergraduate Business Women’s Association, First Year Leadership Initiative, and STEM Outreach. In my free time, I enjoy singing, playing guitar, and acting. I am a huge supporter of the arts and I hope to continue to be while in college and throughout my life.

I am hoping to study abroad this summer because I love meeting new people, traveling, and learning about new cultures. After having the opportunity to spend two weeks with people from all over the world last summer at AMDA conservatory for music, it helped me discover my love for learning about new cultures. Currently, I am thinking about adding marketing or international business as another specialization. My goal is to work on getting into law school after my time here at Ohio State.
