I have taken a lot of pharmacy classes which have made my coursework interesting. I have learned a lot about the opioid epidemic and how those with prescribing power can affect the epidemic. I hope to apply this going forwards as a physician. To keep up with my patients and ensure when they come to the doctor for help, they do not end up with an addiction instead. I am currently in a class called Generation Rx which has taught me about the science behind addiction and how addiction truly is a disease, not a choice. There is a lot of work to be done in way of research between pain treatment and addiction and I hope to be apart of that in the future.

I am a member of Delta Omega Kappa sorority which is full of women all trying to reach the same goals. It is such a great support system because we are all going through the same thing. We are all taking similar classes, looking for similar extracurricular opportunities, and often working the same jobs. I can always find a girl in DOK who is in my classes or other clubs.

Most of the older girls in my sorority serve as mentors for me. Specifically, my big Gracyn who is also pre med and a year ahead of me. This allows me to ask her questions about the coming year and use her experience to aid my own. She is also very supportive of me and my pursuits at Ohio State. Another mentor to me is Jasmine. She is the RM in my building and helps me a lot through being an RA. She will be the president of DOK next year and I am excited to work closely with her next year as treasurer.
