Hi everyone! I am a third-year Psychology major on the pre-med track pursuing a BS degree. After undergrad, I plan on attending either PA school or medical school ultimately specializing in pediatrics. Outside of the psychology ambassador program, I belong to numerous clubs on campus including the OSU pre-med club, campus EMS, and CEO club, and am an active member of a campus sorority! Outside of my academics, I am an avid moviegoer and TV binge watcher, love workout classes at the RPAC (Recreation and Physical Activity Center), going for walks, art, spending time with friends, grabbing coffee or a sweet treat, and exploring new campus study spots and cafes! I love giving advice and if you have any questions about the psychology major or life at Ohio State in general, please feel free to reach out. I would love to help!

Hey everyone!! I am a third year from Fort Mill, South Carolina, and I am an honors student majoring in Psychology (BS) and Neuroscience.

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!
