My name is Alexandra (Alix) Rose. I am a first year undergraduate student in the College of Engineering with a focus on chemical engineering. In the future, I hope to work in developing new products, such as, soap and lotion, at Procter and Gamble. I recently graduated from Loveland High School with an honors degree, and completed many AP classes along the way. During my time in high school, I did a lot of volunteering in my community, such as working on project Linus with National Honors Society and volunteering in my church nursery, and I plan to continue this in my time at OSU. When not in class, my interests include swimming competitively, rowing, hiking, and watching movies or Netflix. I swam for the past five years on three competitive swim teams, this year I am on the club swim team and varsity rowing team. This summer I visited England and Canada. In Canada, I learned how to water ski, how to play radio bingo and wake surf. Throughout my childhood I lived in two states, Michigan and Ohio, and two countries, England and the United States of America. Living in different areas of the world has allowed me to learn about and appreciate different cultures.
My top five strengths found through the Strengths Finder Assessment were futuristic, analytical, focus, significance, and learner. I relate to the futuristic strength most, I always have my week organized in advance and enjoy planning for the future. In any situation, I look try to look at it from every angle, and think about all things that could affect it. I am focused, I know this because I plan out my homework based on when its due and keep to the schedule. I aspire to be regarded as responsible and trustworthy by others, and through this I relate to the significance strength. I am always trying to find new things to learn, I want to gain as much knowledge as I can, which is why I’m pursuing a business minor along with my Chemical Engineering B.S. degree.
