In the next two years, I hope to continue working towards my goal of applying to graduate school to pursue my hopes of becoming of Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I want to continue working in the Cardiopulmonary Behavioral Medicine lab in the Psychology Department, so I can continue to learn more about the research process and the importance of Health Psychology. I hope to continue to involve service in my time at Ohio State, both during the semester and during time away from school. I will continue building leadership skills in my new role as the co-president of the Psychology Club, and I hope to find new ways to be a leader in my community at Ohio State. I will continue my professional development as a student assistant in the Psychology department, and I want to continue building a stronger network in the Psychology department.

My name is Elise Spintzyk and I am from Painesville, Ohio in the Cleveland Area. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with hopes to pursue a Graduate Entry Nursing Program to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I had the opportunity to serve as a Psychology Student Ambassador for the 2019-2020 school year. I work as a Student Assistant in the Psychology Undergraduate Advising Office, which allows me to maintain the relationships I built in the department as an ambassador. In the Spring 2020 semester, I started working as a Research Assistant in the Cardiopulmonary Behavioral Medicine Lab under Principle Investigator Dr. Charles Emery. I have been working on the Pain and Acetaminophen in Women Study (PAWS) with graduate student Jake Landers. This year I have also served on the executive board for the Psychology Club as the Marketing Chair.
