As a business student, I tend to limit myself to business-oriented workloads and involvements. That said, I do make a point in exposing myself to different environments that are not business specific dynamics, but when it comes to actual research/work, my accomplishments are heavily business based.

I am part of the Fisher undergraduate organizations Students Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations (SCNO), where we provide pro-bono consulting services to local nonprofit companies in and around the Columbus area. Last semester, I had the honour of serving as a Project Manager. My team and I worked with German Village Society (GVS) to aid them with a sidewalk repair initiative that they had high hopes of commencing. Although my team and I only consulted for them for 10 weeks (10 weeks = one semester ‘project cycle’), we did some very advanced work. Not only did we research various aspects to help GVS with grant writing and other government-related information, we successfully conducted two field studies of the neighbourhood in order to gauge ho badly the sidewalks truly were, as well as created a formula to provide GVS with in order for them to gain price ranges of how much this project can be expected to cost them based on several different factors.

Our project was so complex and appreciated by our client that our work was mentioned in the local German Village newspaper, as well as our team was recognized by the Fisher College of Business for outstanding application of business skills. This research and work that I spearheaded as a Project Manager helped increase the brand name of our organization, in addition contribute to the caliber reputation Fisher and Ohio State have for cultivating exceptional young professionals who yearn to make a difference.
