Hello! My name is Madison Ritchie and I am from Loveland, Ohio, a small town by Cincinnati. My major is Biology though I hope to explore many other majors in the biological sciences. My goal is to one day attend graduate school and work in scientific research. During my years as an undergraduate at Ohio State I plan to become involved in opportunities such as undergraduate research, volunteering, and student clubs. I also plan to discover my academic interests by taking a variety of classes in the biological sciences. One of the main programs I am involved in is the Biological Sciences Scholars at Ohio State. This program keeps me informed on scientific opportunities around campus and is a great source of guidance for my career plan. In addition to this, the scholars program has helped me meet many students and staff involved in science.
