About Me

My name is Maddy Van Buren and I am currently a freshman at The Ohio State University. I was born and raised in North Canton, Ohio until moving to Columbus for college. I’m a very driven person and student. I hope to attain a degree with a major in Communication and a minor in Media Production and Analysis. Although I am very motivated in my studies, I’m an easygoing person. I enjoy being a well-rounded scholar and love to try new things. I love going to concerts, exploring the area, hiking, and enjoying time with family/friends.  In my first year here at college, I am involved with MMC (Media, Marketing, and Communication Scholars) MTAB (Morrill Tower Activities Board) and RHAC (Resident Hall Advisory Council). Learning, discovering, and finding myself at college is my main goal right now and I hope to never stop learning about the world around me
