Ask Alumni:

What extracurricular activities were you involved with at Otterbein? Residence Life, CardinalCorps. Leaders, Raise Your Voice, Alpha Lambda Delta, Phi Eta Sigma, Torch and Key Society, Mortar Board and Student Alumni Association.  

What do you think Otterbein has to offer to prospective students? You never have to look far for a friend, whether that be in the dorms or in the classroom.  

What do you do? I currently work as the legislative service commission intern to the Ohio House of Representatives-Majority Communications Office.  

What is the most rewarding part of your job? The best part of my job is seeing state legislation at its earliest stages and helping to inform other Ohioans about the great work that is happening at the Statehouse.  

What advice could you offer to a freshman just starting out at Otterbein? Take chances with the classes and major/minor you choose, get involved on campus but always keep an eye on the next step in your life.

What advice would you give to a student graduating from Otterbein? If you haven’t done an internship yet, you should probably do one now. The job market is tough, and I think I’d still be looking for a job if I hadn’t.  

Were there any professors at Otterbein who were particularly inspirational to you? Dr. Paul Eisenstein and Dr. Heidi Ballard both challenged me to work harder than I ever had at anything while supporting me 100 percent of the way.
