Well, to start, I’m originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I attended North Hills High School. I was very involved in my high school’s music program, being in both marching band and orchestra. I was also the president of my school’s German Honor Society, and love the German language and culture. I’m also a very big nerd: I get very excited about science, especially biological, medical, behavioral studies. I hope to get into research during my time at OSU.  Also, I love working with animals, volunteering a the National Aviary (bird zoo) for 3 years and at the Carnegie Science Center Animal and Aquaria Department. My major at Ohio State is Animal Science and I hope to advance into Veterinary Medicine someday, and even more specifically working with exotic animals.
