Final Project Overview
For my final paper I chose to showcase the need for Global Biosecurity. I was able to touch on a variety of topics that will help to encompass the entirety of the importance of following good management practices to help avoid disease epidemics, transport of diseases and vectors to new regions, as well as to prevent bioterrorism. There are several management practices that can be followed, but I only chose a few in which to highlight. Overall, my paper touched on the importance, struggles, demands and new possibilities of global biosecurity.
Final Project Reflection
I chose this topic because I think it is extremely important for the health of the agricultural industry across the globe. There are so many issues that are upcoming, and we need to be prepared to face them. Also, this is a new topic that has recently been growing in interest, and of course, significance. I’m genuinely interested in learning more, and I hope that this will provide a platform for me to broaden my horizons about the current regulations and research going into it. Even after writing this paper, I am super excited about the topic and the modern day relevance that is holds. I also wanted to take this opportunity to educate my classmates about this very important topic.

Global Option Final Reflection/Accomplishments
If I were asked to sum up my experience in the Global Option in just one word, I would use the word eye-opening. Not only was I able to travel to new places, but I had the opportunity to learn so much about other cultures, as well as even more about myself. This experience has paved a way for me that I didn’t even know was possible. I have developed a new mindset in terms of travel and working abroad. It no longer seems like a far off dream, but more of a reality that this is truly an option for my future. My professional career has most definitely been furthered through this experience and I am beyond grateful for all that this program, and Ohio State has allowed me to learn. At a certain point, they didn’t teach me these things, but instead provided me an opportunity to learn more about myself, others, and develop lifelong skills along the way.
