About Me

Hello! I’m Makayla Parsons, a freshmen at The Ohio State University. I am from Canal Winchester, Ohio, a small city about 25 minutes southeast of Columbus. In high school I enjoyed volunteering in the nursery at my church, being part of the National Honor Society, playing on my school’s softball team, and working with students who have learning disabilities. I am majoring in Neuroscience, in the honors program, and on the Pre-Med track. My passion for Neuroscience and medicine stem from my older sister, who has a severe neurological disorder that causes her to have seizures everyday. I have seen how the condition has impacted her my whole life and I want to do anything I can to help those like my sister who suffer from similar issues. My goal is to attend medical school after I graduate and become a Pediatric Neurologist (because I also love working with kids!) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.
