Describe your college experience

Transitioning to college has been a rewarding experience that has challenged me both academically and personally. Coming to The Ohio State University meant adjusting to a new environment, balancing coursework with extracurricular activities, and becoming more independent. While there were challenges along the way, each experience helped me develop stronger time management, communication, and problem-solving skills. So far, my college experience has allowed me to grow in ways I didn't expect. I've become involved in organizations that align with my career goals, built meaningful relationships with classmates and professionals, and gained a clearer vision of my future in financial planning. Through my classes, leadership opportunities, and networking experiences, I've grown more confident in my abilities and have learned the value of stepping outside my comfort zone. Overall, my time in college has strengthened my passion for helping others and has prepared me for the opportunities ahead.

Tip for future students

My one and only tip is to create and keep a schedule, that is the biggest thing I would recommend to any incoming students.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my freshman class about Greek Mythology and it became my favorite because of how in the class we debated about the myths and the stories of Ancient Greek and it history.

Career goals

After college I hope to go into the workforce join a financial planning, firm and develop my skills and grow in Columbus.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is usually either going to see a movie with my friends or going bowling. I also spend time getting dinner and hanging out with my friends.
