To be a Buckeye is to embrace pride, tradition, and resilience ― whether it's singing Carmen Ohio together after football games, camping out at Thompson all night during finals, or shouting "OH" halfway across the world just to hear an "IO" back. It means standing proud in scarlet and gray, knowing you're part of a collection of passionate individuals committed to making a difference in the world. I'm incredibly thankful for the lifelong camaraderie, loyalty, and community that Ohio State has given me, because my fellow Buckeyes will always be there for me, and I can't wait to be there for them too.

What does it mean to be a Buckeye?
Being a Buckeye means being a part of meaningful collaboration and community. From spending summers at Camp Recky to rushing through Oval for class, I feel connected to generations of students who've shared this journey. Being a Buckeye means embracing every opportunity to learn and grow, not just in class but through other involvements. It's about scarlet and gray pride, cheering in the Shoe, and feeling the collective energy across campus. It's a family that extends beyond the classroom, allowing for a vast network of excellence and resilience. Representing these values on the Homecoming Court is an honor.
