My name is Lexi Shoup, I’m a first year student at OSU majoring in biology on a pre-vet track. I’m from Wilmette Illinois and I went to New Trier High School where I participated in STEM related clubs that helped me choose my major. I am a member of the Biological Sciences Scholars program where I will be involved in academic and community service projects that relate to research and science to supplement what I’m learning in the classroom.
