My second year at OSU has been a time of learning and growth. During the spring semester, I decided to change my major to Psychology with minors in Biology and Religious Studies. Instead of going to medical school, I now want to go to graduate school for Psychology. I have a few goals for my next two years at OSU. I want to become a student manager at Curl Market on campus, where I am currently a student lead. I want to become involved in research by becoming a research assistant at a psychology lab on campus. I am going to continue to volunteer at the Wexner Medical Center and continue being the treasurer of Project Sunshine. I hope to become involved in one or two more clubs, possibly related to psychology, mental health, or service. I hope to a leader for one of the Buckeye Awakening retreats, a catholic retreat. I also plan on going on a study abroad to London in May 2021. I am going to continue attending bible study. I want to continue to raise my GPA and make more friends at OSU.

Volunteering At The Wexner Medical Center
During the Spring Semester of 2020, I began volunteering at the Wexner Medical Center. I was a volunteer at the Surgical Intensive Care Unit waiting desk. My job was to take back visitors and keep the waiting room in order. Through this experience, I was able to see how a hospital works and learn of about the certain policies they have. I was also able to witness how people reacted to stressful situations. Most of the patients in the SICU were very sick and some of them were dying. This led to visitors being very emotional. This helped me be more empathetic to others and learn how I can be helpful in those situations.
