During the end of fall semester, I participated in the digital sandbox class Professional Development. This class was focused on interviewing and how to get a job. We redid our resumes and learned how to dress. At this point, I did not have a lot of experience with being a professional and the interview process. Now, I feel like I have a good grasp on what is required when applying for jobs and internships. It even helped me secure my summer employment this year!

MMC Sandbox: Tinkercad
For the second half of fall semester, I participated in the Tinkercad digital sandbox class. Tinkercad is a completely free 3-D modeling software, with simple tools based on shapes instead of sculpting. While the software is basic, the possibilities are endless. You can make whatever you want in it! It also creates files for 3-D printing, which we took advantage of. This is one of the objects I created and now have sitting on my desk. To think that this was built right in front of me is mindblowing. This class was a good taste into the future tech of the world!
MMC Sandbox: WordPress
During the first half of the year, I participated in the MMC Sandbox class on WordPress. In this class, I learned the basics of WordPress, the most commonly used webdesign software in the world. In the class, I designed my own site that could be used to guide new OSU freshman when they first get to school. I learned how to make a fluent website with WordPress, and how to use all of its features to the fullest. I made pages about dining plans, dorm life, and apps people should get when they come to campus. I hope, if a freshmen sees this, it helps with their transition to college. I can also use the knowledge I gained in this class to make my E-portfolio better. This class was not only helpful in teaching me extremely useful skills, I met a few upperclassmen in MMC as well!
FCOB Pathways for Women in Supply Chains Program- The First Event
Today, I had my first event for my Pathways program. I met the other girls and the advisers for the program, and we listened to four different presentations from the sponsors of the program. The sponsors of this program are Wendy’s QSCC, Sherwin Williams, Motorist Insurance, and General Motors. It was so interesting to hear about how supply chains effect each of their companies in different ways. It has made me even more interested in the field, and I can’t wait to learn more.
Fisher ULEO Early Arrival Program
Fisher College of Business, through their Undergraduate Leadership Engagement Office, offers an early-move-in program. In this program, I learned more about the Fisher community, how to get involved through Fisher, and was able to meet many other first year students. I am so glad that I decided to apply to this program, and it gave me the start I needed to my year!
G.O.A.L.S.
Below, I go over how I am currently reaching each of the G.O.A.L.S. of Honors and Scholars.
Global Awareness
To increase my global awareness, I try to learn about both world events and different cultures. I keep up with world news by reading articles, especially those that deal with supply chain. If I want to work with global supply chains, I need to have global awareness of the business and tech worlds. For culture, the biggest part this year was my international roommate. It was really cool learning about the culture of China and participating in events like the Mid-Autumn festival and Chinese New Year. Our differences are what makes us special, and I believe we should share and celebrate them. Before I graduate, I want to participate in a study abroad program.
Original Inquiry
This is my weakest area of the G.O.A.L.S. In my last years of college, I would like to participate in honors research. Before I do that, I need to take some important classes that will give me the base knowledge needed. If I want to research in Operations Management, I must take the intro to Operations Management class.
Academic Enrichment
I pursue academic enrichment by always taking a rigorous and full schedule. I came to Ohio State with all of the GE classes done, and I could have decided to only take 12 credit hours a semester.Instead, I decided to add English as my double major and will continue to push my self, taking difficult classes close to max credit hours each semester.
Leadership Development
In my first year of college, I focused on self-leadership and learning to work on a team. Many of my classes were based around working on a team to finish a project much bigger than a single person could do. I worked hard on keeping my own promises and responsibilities and learning how to trust others to do their job as best they can. Every person here at Ohio State wants to do their best, so this is the best time to work on these skills.
Service Engagement
For service engagement, I participated in FisherCares, a service organization through Fisher College of Business. I went to many of their in-house service events, such as blanket making. It was great to be able to help people, even from here on campus. As an H&S student, it is important to give back to those around us,to thank the people who have worked so hard to make us into the people we are today.
