Hey everyone! I’m a second-year student from Dayton, Ohio, pursuing a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Child Abuse and Neglect. I’m on the pre-medicine track and plan to specialize in pediatrics after graduation. I’m part of the National Society of Black Women in Medicine, the Minority Association of Pre-Medicine Students, and a variety of other clubs! Outside of academics, I love hanging out with friends, trying new foods, thrifting, drinking Celsius, chatting, and cooking! I’m always happy to give advice, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions (OSU-related or not)! I’d love to chat!

Hi! My name is Luca Hartman (they/he), and I am from Dover, Ohio. I am currently a second year Psychology major with a minor in Spanish. After undergrad, I plan on pursuing a master’s degree and becoming a therapist specializing in counseling for adopted children and their families. Outside of the psychology department, I am also the secretary of AROUSE student radio, along with a member of their magazine board. I am also in Universities Allied for Essential Medicines’ Ohio State chapter, and I work to advocate for representative testing and affordable pricing. In my free time, I am an avid thrifter, and I love anything music related whether it’s going to concerts or playing my violin in the campus orchestra. Additionally, I am openly LGBTQ and feel very lucky to be in that position, but I know how hard it is to hide that aspect of yourself. If you’re interested in talking about psychology or just need a queer friend, do not hesitate to reach out! I am so excited to meet more amazing people!

Hi everybody! I am a third year from Sunbury, OH and I’m pursuing a BA as a double major in Psychology and Spanish with a minor in Portuguese. After undergrad, I plan to attend graduate school in hopes of becoming a Mental Health Counselor in schools. In addition to being a psychology ambassador, I am a wellness coach for the SWC (Student Wellness Center), a member of Camp Kesem, and a Foreign Language Area Studies fellow. I’ve wanted to study psychology since middle school so you could definitely say it’s a passion of mine. Additionally, I’m very interested in social justice and love to learn and talk about social psychology. Please feel free to reach out for any reason at all – I would be more than happy to give advice or just chat!

Hi everyone! I am a second-year honors student from Findlay, OH. I am majoring in Psychology (BS) and minoring in Spanish. I hope to go on to become a therapist or clinical psychologist. Outside of the psychology ambassador program, I am a proud member of the Arts and Sciences Student Council and OSU Psi Chi. I also participate in the Wholesome Activities Club and volunteer as a counselor for Crisis Textline! In my free time, I adore all things music and love to play the guitar and keyboard. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, whether we’re watching a movie, going for a walk, or grabbing coffee. I’m a bit of a caffeine addict, so if you ever want to visit a café and chat about the Psychology major or life at Ohio State, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to connect!

I also love going to the psychology department’s events and listening to the guest speakers! I am a part of the Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) here at OSU and would love to talk about how you can also take advantage of all the opportunities Ohio State offers. In my free time, I love listening to music, playing guitar and other instruments, hanging out with my friends, and watching K-Dramas.
