Hi, my name is Allison. I am a first-generation Russian-American, and I am fluent in Russian, English, and conversational French. I graduated Valedictorian and Summa Cum Laude from Dublin Scioto High School. I participated in many clubs and I was elected to many leadership positions. I am very passionate about learning and this helped me endure the 2 years in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, successfully receiving the diploma.
I have visited 16 countries and my love for traveling has inspired me to pursue a major in International Affairs so that I may work for the State Department or United Nations. I am also planning on double majoring in Russian so that I may obtain an interpreter’s license and possibly translate in hospitals while studying at OSU. I am very excited to be pursuing my undergraduate degree at the Ohio State University, and I will be very open-minded, determined, and optimistic towards the future.
