WOW Spotlight: Jordan Porter
Meet Jordan! He is a first year student at Ohio State studying biochemistry, minoring in pharmaceutical sciences. He began his journey with WOW autumn 2025 and has been a proud volunteer since! Jordan chose his major because he is very passionate about a career assisting in the medical field rather hands-on clinical work or research. He explains how biochemistry provides great preparation for pursuing an education in a professional school which aligns with his goal to make a true impact in the medical field. He has always enjoyed learning about science, but Jordan wanted to use his major and interest in a way to help others recover in their health journey. Jordan wants to use his fortunate opportunity to study here at Ohio State University to work towards a better future for patients struggling with their health and to honor his grandfather who have experienced diseases like cancer. Seeing how chronic and serious diseases have impacted people has motivated him to be part of the team to find a treatment for these diseases.
