INVOLVEMENT
SOCIETY OF WOMEN ENGINEERS (SWE)
Member (January 2018 – May 2020)
In my free time I attend SWE meetings and events. I feel very strongly about reaching out to girls and encouraging their interests in science and math because I did not encourage my love for math and science until well into high school. I learned that my differences made me unique, giving a different perspective to those around me. I hope to show other girls that were in my situation that they are powerful and can achieve anything they put their minds to. My favorite event was organizing a station for the Girl Scout Day, where the girls learned about different types of engineering. My station had the girls build DNA using toothpicks, licorice, and mini-marshmallows while I explained it’s role in Biological Engineering. I’m also a big advocate for women’s education globally and hope to become more involved with outreach in the future!
GREEN ENGINEERING SCHOLARS
Member (August 2016 – April 2018)
Over the course of two school years enrolled in the Green Engineering Scholars program, I was able to contribute over 90 hours of community service to the surrounding Columbus community. I volunteered with programs that involved cleaning up garbage at Tuttle Park around the Olentangy River, making blankets for children in the OSU Wexner Medical Center, and socializing abused rabbits the Ohio House Rabbit Rescue.
BUCK-I-SERV VOLUNTEER
Participant (December 2017)
I spent a week of my Winter Break 2018 in St. Petersburg, Florida volunteering with the leader of WunderFarms. I helped to plant, maintain, and and harvest crops from three community gardens and learned how to recycle any food waste in compost piles. We also assisted with the upkeep of a local natural preservation by removing harmful invasive species. Over the course of the week we were able to donate 200 pounds of harvested food to local homeless shelters. This beneficial experience brought me to my appreciation of biological systems and the environment. I had the opportunity to learn from a variety of extraordinary, passionate people about their studies and I learned more that week than any other experience I have had outside the classroom. I hope to complete another service trip with the university before I graduate.
OWL Move-in Participant and Leader
Leader (2017) and Participant (2018)
I was involved with the Ohio State Welcome Leader (OWL) move-in crew while I lived in the dorms at Ohio State. This program allows students to move in early, engage in activities, learn more about campus before classes start, and then eventually help the rest of campus move in. My first year as a participant I had so much fun and was able to meet my first friends when I came to campus. This experience motivated me to be an OWL-Coordinator and take a group of freshman under my wing. I had even more fun being an OWL-C watching my timid OWLs come out of their shells! They worked very hard on move-in day and I felt very proud of them at the end of the week.
