Hello, my name is Naeemah Story! I am currently on the pre-med/pre-professional track and pursuing a major in Neuroscience, which is unique in the fact that the program is supported by both the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Medicine. I am also a member of the Health Sciences Scholars through Ohio State’s Honors & Scholars Program. Even though I have just started in this program, I am beginning to get involved in community service around Columbus, such as COSI.

I plan to volunteer more through other outreach programs as well. I am part of the Program for Advancing Scholarship and Service (PASS). We also work throughout Columbus to help advance diversity by participating in outreach and community service.

I am also honored and excited to be named a Morrill Scholar because I have access to further expand my learning outside of the classroom. I am involved with the community service team of the program where we will reach out to underserved communities in Columbus to help with various issues. This program has helped me grow as a leader and has motivated me to speak out against social justice issues.

I am passionate about mental health, and as a former athlete, I aspire to work with other athletes in the future, especially those who have suffered concussions. I want to possibly help them discover the relationship between their physical, mental and emotional health and assist them in finding a balance between all three.

I hope to constantly evolve into a better individual and citizen so that I can apply the skills and hard work I’ve done into my future endeavors, whether that be volunteer work, internships, research or a professional field. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!
