My name is Mara, and I’m a first-year exploration student at The Ohio State University. I’m from Dayton, Ohio. I graduated from Beavercreek High School and had two consecutive jobs at KFC and Bob Evans over the course of my senior year. I was involved in many extracurricular activities during high school but I enjoyed my involvement in my school’s GSA (Gender-Sexuality Alliance) and the Dayton-area chapter of GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) the most because I felt like my involvement contributed to the lives of others and I met a lot of really great people through it. This year I am taking a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies course titled Gender, Sex, and Power. I hope to learn more about intersectional feminism in this class and become a part of the feminist community here at OSU.
