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!

I am a member of Greek Life and I’m on the Panhellenic Council.

Student Engagement Officer and a tutor

My plan is to work for a nonprofit in the Columbus area.

The Point. I love the study areas and the walk there. It’s very calming and quiet.

I enjoy Greek Week. It’s a great time to interact with the other sororities and fraternities on campus. You get to see all the hard work they have put into it each event.

Willoughby South High School

Willoughby, OH

ALD/PES National Honors Society, Common Book Selection Committee, Honors Program, Manhattan College of Business Annual Analytics Competition

As a student in the Honors Program I partake in Honors integrative studies courses with other members of the program. I also chose to conduct an Honors Thesis project, where I chose the topic and course of my own research project, guided by an advisor.

I am involved in self-guided and group research. For my Honors Thesis Project, I conduct literature reviews using library databases, data cleaning and coding using excel, and analysis using software. The group project I am involved in is an Annual Analytics Competition, where we collect, code, analyze, and present data. In both research experiences, it is helpful to have Otterbein faculty available to assist me, and I have learned valuable communication and technical skills so far.

After graduation, I aspire to find a career where I can grow my analytical and communication skills, and improve the lives of others.

Roush Hall is my favorite spot on campus. Roush always has an open classroom for group collaboration or a comfy chair to do homework in.

My favorite Otterbein tradition is the annual Common Book Convocation. I love hearing each year's author speak, they have rich knowledge and evoke self-reflection and discussion amongst peers.
