About Me

Pictured in Brussels, Belgium

Welcome to my life! I am Molly Welton, an animal science major on a pre-vet track, excited for the next 4, or actually 8, years of my life in the crazy experience that we call college. I am from Erie, Pennsylvania, and my life back home mainly consists of cross country, swimming, and doing all the water sports that living on a lake gives me the privilege to do. I am pretty outgoing, but always enjoy a night in with a big blanket and some hot chocolate. I try my best to live a well balanced life and love trying out every hobby and activity under the sun.

As for my academic life, I have found success in the classroom in high school and am ready to put in the hard work to keep it rolling into college. I have found that during school I learn best visually. I write out all of my notes and prefers to see the information presented in front of me. When it comes to certain subjects I find myself to be more interested in the sciences than math or history. I have a passion for learning (most of the time) and tend to be a highly self-motivated student when I put my mind to it.

Another topic that I have gained a passion for is sustainability. As a pre-vet major, I took interest in species conservation as a child and it has only grown since. Nature and all life in general has extreme value

My future plans include going to Veterinary school and completing my DVM, as well as traveling and studying abroad throughout my years as a college student and beyond. I hope to make some amazing connections during my time here at OSU and enjoy every step of the way.
