Shania Daniel
Hey everyone! I’m a third-year student from Dayton, Ohio, pursuing a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Child Abuse and Neglect. I’m on the pre-medicine track and plan to specialize in pediatrics after graduation. Within OSU I’m a research assistant for the COPE lab, participating in STEP, on the executive board for Society of Sisters and Women Who Serve, and a member of a variety of other clubs! Outside of OSU, I love hanging out with friends, trying new foods, thrifting, drinking Celsius, chatting, and cooking! I’m always happy to give advice, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions (OSU-related or not)! I’d love to chat!
Luca Hartman
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!
