Hi, my name is Gabriella Miller. I am from Niles, Ohio which is about three hours northeast of Columbus. I graduated from Niles McKinley High School in May 2018. In high school I immersed myself into countless volunteer hours, clubs, and a few sports. I love to be able to impact someone’s life and make a difference, and I was able to do this through volunteering. I am a board member for the non-profit (501c-3) organization Courtney’s Coats for Kids. This organization is in memory of my sister, Courtney Miller. She attended OSU from 2009-2013; a few months before her graduation she was killed in a car accident. Courtney’s Coats for Kids provides new coats, hats, and gloves to underprivileged children in Niles. I love being able to give back to the community while honoring my sister.
I am a biochemistry major in the class of 2022 at The Ohio State University, and I am in the biological sciences scholars program. I have chosen biochemistry my major because I believe it will adequately prepare me for my future, and I love science. I am in the biochemistry and chemistry club as well as the Premed Club. I chose these clubs because as a premed student, each of these will help with my career goals and my major. Eventually, I would like to be an officer for the Premed Club, so I hold a position similar to my own in Courtney’s Coats for Kids. Throughout this time I want to volunteer as much as possible and study abroad. I would love to study abroad to Spanish speaking countries. After I receive complete my time as an undergraduate, I will attend medical school. I am currently undecided on a specific profession, but I am certain I want to be a part of the medical field. I am very passionate about learning, and I am so excited to pursue the biochemistry major. While I know this will not be an easy journey, all of the hard work will certainly payoff. A goal I have set for myself is to become fluent in Spanish because I am passionate about it, and I will be able to help more people as a bilingual doctor. I cannot wait to become a doctor!
