Yes, I have loved the honors program. The faculty all want to see their students succeed and accomplish great things! Having the opportunity to work on my thesis is helping me to be prepared for graduate school and beyond!

I am in the process of completing my two year thesis in Otterbein’s newly instated Biomechanics Institute. We are using the 3D motion technology to identify walking gait patterns and abnormalities in college aged students with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Pursuing my doctorate in Occupational Therapy

The Center for Health and Sport Science! This is where all my faculty offices are and it is just like a big happy family in the building. They all leave their doors open and you can’t walk by without being greeted by a fellow student or faculty member!

Otterthon! Raising funds for children and families of Nationwide Children’s Hospital and getting to dance and have fun with all my friends is the best combination. Our sororities philanthropy is The Ronald McDonald house in Columbus so Otterthon is close to our hearts!

The honors program was an amazing first introduction to otterbein because of the people I met through it! Being out of state, I loved living in a dorm with and taking classes among students studying a variety of disciplines.

Before I graduate, I’ll move to New York and complete my last semester from an internship there. Afterwards I plan to stay for at least a few years- it depends what I book after college!

I love hammocking with my friends on the quad behind towers! The Kappa house also holds some of my fondest memories and I’ll always cherish the conversations and experiences I’ve had there.

Now that we’re allowed to perform again, I LOVE going to shows here! Both seeing my friends perform and being onstage myself bring so much joy to my overall experience here.

Yes! I am doing the thesis track and it has been a great experience!

Yes! I am currently working on my honors thesis project in which I am conducting research. My topic is mental health in athletics and I am doing a two part qualitative study including a survey and a semi structured interview. All of this of course is supervised by my wonderful advisor Dr. Megan Chawansky!

Not sure yet, possible go to graduate school for sport psychology or a related health science field. Or begin working as an athletic trainer somewhere!

My favorite spot on campus is the courtyard between Batelle and the science center! It’s the perfect place to hammock or just sit with friends or study and get work done!

My favorite Otterbein tradition is the 1am donut run! So much fun to do with friends 🙂

Yes, I was able to help run a Blue Light Research Study and helped to dissect the human cadaver on campus. I loved being able to work so closely with professors and get hands on experience outside of my major.

I plan on becoming an Athletic Trainer for a professional sports team, preferably in the NHL

Yes, I have complete three research projects and am currently starting two more this semester. Each of these have been semester long project through a course. I cannot express how much I love being able to routinely plan, execute and present my own research both from the field and in a lab setting. Professors provide whatever guidance you express you need in order to succeed which is another thing I really enjoy!

I plan to attend veterinary school after graduation.

My favorite spot on campus sitting at the tables outside the library and enjoying the weather while still getting my work done.

My favorite Otterbein tradition is the rock! It has layers and layers of Otterbein history in the center of campus.

I am involved in Res Life, Otterbein Animal Conservation Club, PAL Lab, and Admissions.

I work on the admissions team as a tour guide as well as in Res life as an RA.

I am involved in Dr. Rich's PAL Lab! PAL stands for Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes. In this lab we do research on how humans effect nonhuman primates, specifically about how different things humans do like for example agriculture may effect female non-human primate reproduction.

My plans after graduation are to become a zookeeper. I just love animals and building those connections with them. My top 3 dream species to work with are rhinos, polar bears, and apes like gorillas and orangutans.

I love the science center! I love sitting in front of the huge windows studying. I love how much natural light there is an love to just look out at campus.

I really enjoy the clap-in and clap-out tradition. Although I personally did not get clapped in due to COVID, I got to experience it this year when I helped with first flight, and I could just feel how special it will be on graduation day!
