Hello hello!! My name is Ella Giesecke, and I'm a senior pursuing dual degrees in Sociolgy and Marketing on the pre-law track from Pittsburgh. PA. Despite being from out of state, I always say I was 'born a Buckeye' to a very Ohio State passionate family- it only made sense for me to attend this incredible school. I joined SAC at the beginning of my freshman year, and the rest truly is history. I feel so incredibly lucky to have grown along with this organization, going from Recruitment Program-Coordinator, to Director of Member Selection, to closing out my chapter in SAC as president. I feel so incredibly lucky to be working with the most incredible Executive team this year, working together to find creative ways to connect Buckeyes past, present, and future. I am so beyond excited to spend my last year in this special organization finding ways to move SAC forward, creating connections that will last a lifetime. Go bucks!
