Abdullahi Aden

10/30/23 – 3/14/24

My name is Abdullahi Aden, and I am a first-generation college student. I am from Somalia and came here three years ago. I am studying Economics at The Ohio State University. One memorable moment I had during this internship was when I met somebody from Kenya who would speak the same local language as me. What a small world. I advise others to leave their comfort zone, talk to people, and make connections. You never know who is going to be helpful later in life. My favorite project was identifying the internship’s issues and recommending improvements.
