Hello! My name is Alyssa Lambert and I am a freshman here at OSU. I was born and raised in Heath, Ohio, a town that’s not too small, but not that big. I am from a family that loves to play cards, eat pizza and talk a lot. I have a little brother, Michael, who is going into his junior year of high school this year, and my parents, Sarah and Jason, love to go on walks with me. I love to hike and travel. I have been on a road trip around the country to see national parks, and to some countries in Europe.  I would like to see some more of the world during my time in college and go back to some of those national parks that I visited. On the academic note, I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I chose Engineering because I love the idea of being able to design and create something with my own hands.  I specifically chose Mechanical because I like the realism of moving parts compared to electric current or coding for computers. I also chose Mechanical because it is a broader major in Engineering and will provide me with the opportunity to branch out and specialize in an area that I am interested. As a student, I am better at maths and sciences than English and history, hence my major choice. Because of this, I also like hands on projects and content that I can see and that have definite answers.
