Jerome Pathakamuri
Ohio Virtual Academy
Career Field: Business: Business & Administrative Services

My dream job is to be the chief executive officer of a company. I have always been fascinated by how companies run: how they make money, how they acquire other companies, and how sometimes they must divest some of their holdings. I can’t think of anything better than getting to make these decisions as a CEO.
Fall 2021 Cohort
Carter Hirn
Ohio Virtual Academy
Career Field: Business
Grade: 11
Hobbies: Sports/video games and volunteering at my local library.
I’ve chosen the business career field because I know that I want to go into business but I’m not yet sure what type. So far I’ve done marketing, accounting, and management. They’ve all given me a better understanding of what I want to do in the future.

Irie Green
Ohio Virtual Academy
Career Field: Information Technology
Hello, my name is Irie Green. I am 17 years old and am a part of the interactive media program with the Stride Career Prep program. I have been with the program for about a year and a half. In the interludes of free time that I have, I take pleasure in painting, playing the mandolin, animating, hiking, reading, and drawing. I enjoy studying western art history and am trying to expand to studying world art history. I am currently studying the life and works of the artists Maurice Sendak and Zdzisław Beksiński. I run an Etsy shop and have gained some success and profit from my mixed media animations. I am delighted to have the chance to work for the Student Advisory Council.
Samantha Minneman
Ohio Virtual Academy
Career Field: Healthcare
Hi my name is Samantha Minneman! I’m a junior year student at Ohio Virtual Academy (OHVA) and I am in the medical assistant career pathway. I also am in the CCP program earning credits that can be transferred to college. I enjoy the experience of virtual learning at OHVA because it suits my learning style much better than in-person instruction. It has also helped in preparing me for a potential career in the healthcare field and given me tools to work smarter overall. I chose to become a student advisor as a way to get real-world work experience as a high school student. Outside of school I am a skilled dancer and am currently with a pre-professional ballet company which allows me to perform at least five times a year!
