My name is Zach Manos and I am a 2019 student. I am from North Canton, Ohio and have been there all my life.  My intention is to major in Biology following the pre-med track. My long term career goal is to become an Orthopedic Surgeon. Summer of 2015 I had the opportunity to shadow multiple Orthopedic Surgeons in their respective specialties. For instance, I shadowed Dr. Ira Richterman of OMNI Orthopedics during his office hours as well as during numerous hand-related surgeries. I also shadowed Dr. Candage and Dr. Pentz of Aultman Hospital and observed 2 total knee replacements and a double total knee replacement. I am currently volunteering at James Cancer Center Fridays from 6-8 pm. I am a member of the Molecular Genetics club, the Boxing club, and the Wakeboarding club. My hobbies include playing baseball, golfing, volunteering, and staying physically active. I chose the Biological Science Scholars program because of my love for science and the opportunity to surround myself with others who share similar passions.
