About Me
My name is Sam Battle (he/they). I am a trans and non-binary student at Oberlin College. I am a fourth year majoring in Biology, with a minor in Studio Art. Im pre-medicine and my dream is to become a primary care physician who specializes in caring for the needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Along with being a member of Oberlins Student Leadership Committee, I also run a peer support group for other trans students on my campus. Having a group of people who share many of our experiences as gender minority students has been extremely important in aiding the resilience of our community.
