More about me:

  • Why healthcare?
    • My family has a long history of medical problems. With so much time spent in hospitals growing up, I decided I wanted to help others medically. However, by the time I graduated high school, I realized I didn’t want to be directly involved in patient care. I realized that OSU offers many majors related to healthcare that are more behind the scenes.
  • Favorite spot on campus? Why?
    • The oval. I love laying out on a blanket and enjoying the view. There are always so many cute dogs and it’s wonderful. Whether it’s studying or reading leisurely, the oval is the best spot on campus.
