Hannah Stinson is a second year student from Swanton, Ohio. Here at OSU she is participating in College of Arts and Science’s Biology program and OSU’s Stem Exploration and Engagement scholars program. She also serves as the Director of Programming for the Barret-Nosker Governing Organization, which puts on events for the about 800 residents that live in the Barrett and Nosker residence halls. Hannah also volunteers as a welcome ambassador at OSU Carepoint East and participates in Ohio State’s Second Year Transformational Program. There are still many opportunities here at OSU and in Columbus that she hopes to take advantage of during the rest of her time here including participating in medical research and volunteering at Nationwide Children’s hospital. After graduation Hannah intends to purse a medical degree. She is considering the possibility of attending a medical scientist training program, in which she would complete a medical degree and a Ph.D. in genetics, anatomy and physiology, pathobiology, or cancer biology, after which she would purse a career as a physician scientist.

Outside of school activities Hannah also enjoys reading, listening to music, and spending time with her friends, family, and pets. She was also a eight year member of Hoppin “N” Trottin 4H club in which she raised and show multiple types of livestock, participated in competitive shooting sports, and volunteered as a certified archery instructor. Hannah was also president of her 4H club for three year and held officer position for six of her eight years in 4H. Now that Hannah is no longer eligible to participate in the program as a 4Her, due to turning 18, she plans to return to the program in the Fall of 2019 to volunteer as a 4H advisor and archery instructor. Although Hannah has never had the chance to travel outside the country she has a great desire to travel and hope to get the chance to travel to places all over the world, especially places like Bhutan, Tanzania, Palau, Iceland, and Antarctica.   In the future she hopes to travel around the world especially to places like Bhutan,  South Africa, and Palau. Hannah loves to learn new things and have new experiences so she can not wait to see what else The Ohio State University has in store for her.
