Global Awareness
To increase my global awareness, I have participated in a study abroad program through the College of Engineering. We traveled to England and Wales to explore the history and culture surrounding the castles and cathedrals there. To continue to work towards becoming a global citizen, I am enrolled in a global sexual practice course for fall of 2019.
Original Inquiry
I have worked in research for 2.5 years now. This has included data analyses, literature reviews, and presentation. I have learned about and participated in many portions of the research process during my time working in Engineering Education research these past few years.
Academic Enrichment
My coursework has reflected my commitment to deeper understanding of the physical world as well as human relations and behavior. My courses in the chemistry major help me learn better how we know things about the world (learning about analytical chemistry) as well as how certain diseases progress (neurotransmitter chemistry). GE courses I’ve taken have broadened my understanding in interacting with other people (honors persuasive communication, honors psychology), and how the world works from a financial perspective (honors economics).
Leadership Development
My research projects at work have so far been largely self-directed. This has developed my leadership ability in my drive to learn more and seek out answers instead of waiting for someone to explain something to me. For the next academic year I will also be involved in the executive board of at leas on student organization on campus (oSTEM)
Service Engagement
I have volunteered in several educational contexts: running demonstrations at COSI, homework help at a branch of the Columbus library, and assisting a chemistry teacher at Metro middle and high school.
