UBWA President, Katie Crum
Hi everyone, by way of introduction my name is Katie Crum and I am excited to serve UBWA as president this year! A little bit about myself: I am a senior double majoring in marketing and history, and I am originally from Bethesda, Ohio. As I reflect on my involvements the past three years, a common theme throughout my college career has been helping others achieve their fullest potential. Whether that be my time spent developing this organization, working as a teaching assistant, or serving as a peer advisor in Fisher, I find my energy in enabling others to reach their goals. I plan to channel this passion to this organization, as I have for the past three years. I am looking forward to harnessing the momentum we built from last year’s incredible programming to not only further improve existing programs and events, but also to roll out new ideas. I am thrilled to be on a collaborative team of nine other motivated and inspiring women who care about this organization as much as I do, and I am looking forward to seeing what we accomplish! |

I will be graduating in May 2020 with degrees in International Business and Political Science and have a strong interest in global economic development, diplomacy, and corporate social responsibility. This is my 3rd and final term serving on the executive board for this incredible organization and it has been on of the most rewarding experiences of my collegiate career.

This year, I look forward to facilitating the weekly General Member meetings, supporting the work of the executive board, and helping shape UBWA's overall strategy while executing our mission.

VP of Community Service, Lauren West
Hi everyone! My name is Lauren West and I am so excited to be serving you all for a second year as Vice President of Community Service. I am going into my senior year at OSU (so crazy!) and am specializing in Finance with a minor in Insurance. I joined UBWA when I transferred to Ohio State my sophomore year and have been active with the organization ever since, serving first on BuckeyeThon committee and then as VP of Community Service (x2). This organization has been so instrumental in helping to prepare me for the business world and has been such a great support system throughout all of my college career at OSU, which is why I am so excited to be able to be a part of continuing to further our mission this year with all of you! I've used the tools and tips that I have learned from our weekly meetings and professional development events in the three internships that I have held with The J.M. Smucker Company, and have no doubt that I will carry them with me throughout the rest of my professional career. When I’m not working or studying, I love to stay active and am always down to go for a run or try a new fitness class around Columbus! |

VP of Corporate Relations, Madison Shimborske
Hello! I'm Madison and I am a junior this year studying Information Systems with a minor in Studio Art. I am very excited to serve as VP of Corporate Relations on the Executive Board this year, as UBWA has been a very meaningful part of my college experience so far. I joined as a freshman and was taught everything I wanted to learn and more about developing myself professionally. The organization definitely convinced me that I belong in business, and I can't wait to help give other members what I was given through UBWA. When I'm not in UBWA or class, I love reading, going to concerts, taking pictures, and being outside. I'm excited to see what this year holds! |

VP of Marketing, Julie Redman
Hi everyone, I am a current junior studying marketing. I transferred to Ohio State after my freshman year at a small school, and one of the most positive experiences I have had since this big change was joining UBWA. UBWA has been the place where I have been able to find people who understand my professional goals, and have helped push and support me along the way. I hope for the 2019-2020 year other students can have a similar experience where UBWA has played a positive and impactful role in their lives, just as it did in mine! |
