My name is Lucia Elizabeth Marchese, but, amongst my plethora of nicknames, I prefer to go by Lucy. I am the oldest of three children and have a large extended family. I’ve been a Buckeye all my life, having grown up in Westerville, Ohio and have attended Catholic schooling for majority of my life. If asked to describe myself in three words, I would say determined, humorous, and intelligent. I love a challenge and pushing myself to my limits. In addition, I’m always cracking jokes and trying to make people smile, so much so that I was awarded the senior superlative of Class Clown. One of my greatest achievements, correlating with a skill of mine that I am most proud of, would be winning the Department Medal for English. I love to write and spend a good amount of time working on my bullet journal. I enjoy playing tennis, as well, and was involved with the musicals in high school. I have a large place in my heart for my faith, too, which has given me the opportunity to find a love for service work. I am very interested by languages and am certified biliterate in Spanish in the state of Ohio. I love spontaneous adventures and can’t wait to see what my time at the Ohio State University will bring to me.
