What impact do you hope to have on the world?

I want to leave a positive impact on the world. I want to give children, especially young girls who look like me, the confidence to know that they can be successful no matter what. Growing up, I had a lot of positive influences in my life that helped mold me into the person I am today. I would love to be a mentor for those who need it so they will have someone to look up to.

I am a senior currently attending The Ohio State University where I am majoring in Strategic Communications. I’m from Cleveland, Ohio. When I was younger, I always knew I wanted to pursue higher education, and I have been fortunate enough to receive a full-ride scholarship through the Young Scholars Program.  

I am passionate about honing new skills and creating and developing content. I have public speaking, editing, writing, and problem-solving skills. I have experience creating blogs, and I am currently working on a blog for myself. These diverse skills and interests naturally draw me to User Experience Design and media production, which I will continue to explore in graduate school.  

Outside school and work, I enjoy traveling. The best place I have traveled to so far is Hawaii. I also love spending my free time reading, watching TV, and watching movies. My favorite movie this year would have to be Doctor Strange. I am open to trying new things, so I am looking forward to all the possibilities available for me here at Ohlinger Studios.
