My name is Brett Sisson, and I am a first year at The Ohio State University. I am a native Ohioan from Gallipolis, Ohio, a very small Appalachian community. During my time in high school, I was able to participate in the College Credit Plus program at the University of Rio Grande, through which I earned an associate degree in psychology. My ultimate goal is to be a trauma counselor in my home region which is lacking in mental health resources.

I love playing music and creating art, and I spent many hours in high school playing percussion in Rio Grande’s ensembles and bands. I enjoy drawing and shooting and editing video. Since I am from a small town, I am excited to explore what Columbus had to offer in the world of music, art, and film!
