Bio coming soon!
Luca Hartman | hartman.799@osu.edu
Hi! My name is Luca Hartman (they/he), and I am from Dover, Ohio. I am currently a second year Psychology major with a minor in Spanish. After undergrad, I plan on pursuing a master’s degree and becoming a therapist specializing in counseling for adopted children and their families. Outside of the psychology department, I am also the secretary of AROUSE student radio, along with a member of their magazine board. I am also in Universities Allied for Essential Medicines’ Ohio State chapter, and I work to advocate for representative testing and affordable pricing. In my free time, I am an avid thrifter, and I love anything music related whether it’s going to concerts or playing my violin in the campus orchestra. Additionally, I am openly LGBTQ and feel very lucky to be in that position, but I know how hard it is to hide that aspect of yourself. If you’re interested in talking about psychology or just need a queer friend, do not hesitate to reach out! I am so excited to meet more amazing people!
Scarlet Munoz | munoz.207@osu.edu
Hi everybody! I am a second year from Sunbury, OH and I’m pursuing a Psychology BA degree with a minor in Spanish. After undergrad, I plan on attending graduate school for Clinical Mental Health Counseling in hopes of being able to provide more accessible counseling to those in underserved communities. In addition to being a psychology ambassador, I am a wellness coach for the SWC (Student Wellness Center), a member of Camp Kesem, Positive Psychology Club, and OSU Psi Chi. I love everything art-related (especially drawing), crocheting, hiking, camping, and I’m convinced that pickleball is the best sport ever. I’ve wanted to study psychology since middle school so you could definitely say it’s a strong passion of mine. In addition to that, I’m very interested in social justice and love to learn and talk about social psychology. Please feel free to reach out for any reason at all – I would be more than happy to give advice or just chat!
Emma Schroeder |schroeder.1061@osu.edu
Hi everyone! I am a second-year honors student from Findlay, OH. I am majoring in Psychology (BS) and minoring in Spanish. I hope to go on to become a therapist or clinical psychologist. Outside of the psychology ambassador program, I am a proud member of the Arts and Sciences Student Council and OSU Psi Chi. I also participate in the Wholesome Activities Club and volunteer as a counselor for Crisis Textline! In my free time, I adore all things music and love to play the guitar and keyboard. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, whether we’re watching a movie, going for a walk, or grabbing coffee. I’m a bit of a caffeine addict, so if you ever want to visit a café and chat about the Psychology major or life at Ohio State, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to connect!
Lillian Urmson | urmson.8@osu.edu
Hey everybody! I am a second-year majoring in Psychology (BS). I am also minoring in Criminology and Korean. After graduating, I plan on getting a PhD in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in criminal psychology. At OSU, I love to go to the activities and festivals hosted by the East Asian Languages and Literatures (DEALL), and I highly recommend engaging in learning about different cultures besides your own! I also love going to the psychology department’s events and listening to the guest speakers! I am a part of the Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) here at OSU and would love to talk about how you can also take advantage of all the opportunities Ohio State offers. In my free time, I love listening to music, playing guitar and other instruments, hanging out with my friends, and watching K-Dramas. I’m super excited to meet everyone, so if you have any questions about Ohio State or psychology or just want to talk, please reach out!

Hi everyone! I’m a third-year honors student from Blue Ash, Ohio, majoring in Psychology (BS) and minoring in Cultural Anthropology. After completing my undergraduate studies, I plan to pursue a PhD in Cognitive Psychology with hopes of a future in academia. I’m particularly interested in language development and cross-cultural research and currently work as a research assistant in Dr. Sloutsky’s Cognitive Development Lab here at OSU.

Outside of academics, I love hiking in national parks, discovering new coffee shops with my family, playing with my two dogs, and watching practically any sport on TV. If you have any questions about the psych major, getting involved in research, the ASC honors program, or just want to chat, I’m always here to help!
