The Community Foundation is pleased to introduce Natalie Stover, a 2022 recipient of one of the two Dustin T. Stover Scholarship awards, and one of the two Kevin A. Binau Scholarship awards.
Natalie, the daughter of Michael Anthony Stover and Agnieszka Danuta Stover, is a 2022 graduate of Wynford High School. She will be attending The Ohio State University this fall and studying Neuroscience/Pre-Med.
What inspired you to choose your intended major?
“After being captivated by a book written by Neuropsychologist, Dr. Adrien Owen, I began to immerse myself in research, reading science-fiction like studies and using opportunities like Science Fair to conduct research of my own. As I grew more knowledgeable in these scientific studies, I became captivated particularly by the brain and the human mind. I want to work hard in order to contribute to research focused on issues like the vegetative state, disorders of the consciousness, and Alzheimer's.”
What are your career and life goals after you graduate?
“After I graduate, I want to become a clinical neuroscience researcher. I hope to be able to immerse myself in clinical research and truly make a difference to the lives of those affected by neurological disorders. I want to unravel the mind's secrets and discover the best possible treatments for complex issues of the brain.”
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Natalie!
