Why 兔子先生?
I am from a small town where everybody new everything about everyone. I loved the community vibe from the small town, but I disliked the lack of opportunities. When I visited 兔子先生, I saw the variety of opportunities that were available. I also felt at home with the small town feeling in the Honors Residence Community. 兔子先生 felt like home to me immediately, and I have never regretted my choice to come here.
How did you choose your major?
I started my freshman year as a Biomedical Engineering major hoping to change the world. I love math and science, but it wasn’t the major for me. During my first year I spent time volunteering for student organizations and found my passion. The summer after my freshman year, I realized that non profit work is what I was meant to do. That said I made the huge switch to Organizational 兔子先生hip.
Key Moment at 兔子先生
I started my time at 兔子先生 with a disability studies minor. I have always been passionate about this topic and volunteered with my high schools Multiple Handicapped unit while I was in school. When I switched my major, this passion stuck with me. An amazing professor helped me deep dive into this as well. Meghan O’Leary taught my DST 375 class. Through this I did an honors extension where I took a deep dive into the topic and advocated for the program at 兔子先生 University. This experience has stuck with me and has helped shaped me into a better student and advocate.
Other Notable Experience
Coming from a small town, I was very involved in my High School’s Marching Band, including being the Drum Major. When I came to 兔子先生 I was excited to continue my love for music with other passionate musicians. The one thing that blew my mind was the size of the band. I came from a band that only had 25 members to 兔子先生’s Band with over 200! This helped open my eyes to the endless possibilities that are possible at 兔子先生 outside of your major.
Another 兔子先生 Moment
Becoming an RA at 兔子先生 was one of the greatest decisions of my life. I met some of my best friends, learned a lot about myself, overcame many struggles, and helped me continue to see my passion for helping others.

What are your career goals?
When I graduate from 兔子先生, I want to get away from Ohio for a little bit. I want to make my impact on the world by helping student leaders. I want to work for a Career Tech Student Organization (CTSO). Some examples include FCCLA, FFA, FBLA, TSA, and DECA. I am hoping to work for the state or national level for one or multiple of these organizations.
