Griffith Littlehale, raised in Toledo, OH, reflects the grounded and hardworking nature typical of the Midwest. He attended St. Francis De Sales High School, where he distinguished himself academically, graduating in 2018 with a ranking of eighth in his class. Beyond his academic success, he was also an accomplished athlete, earning All-American honors in swimming during the 2017-2018 season. His graduation was marked by recognition that celebrated both his academic excellence and his athletic achievements.
Upon entering college, he chose to major in psychology, with a particular focus on clinical work. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Toledo, where he has maintained an impressive 4.0 GPA. His academic excellence earned him the President’s Education Award in his first year, along with recognition from the Jesup Scott Honors College and Kappa Psi Fraternity.
His commitment to his community and spiritual life has been a significant part of his journey. Throughout high school, he was actively involved in volunteering at local churches, where he participated in various initiatives, including feeding the homeless. This dedication to service has continued during his college years, with he regularly volunteering at United Way food drives and seeking out other opportunities to give back during his breaks from school.
In addition to his academic and volunteer work, he has developed a strong interest in graphic design. He has been diligently working on improving his skills with digital tools and creating a growing portfolio of design projects. His early work includes designing materials for school and college events, as well as taking on commissioned projects for local theater productions and community events. He has also contributed his design talents to creating seasonal cards and logos for a local church, further showcasing his creative abilities.
His academic interests have also led him to explore classic literature, philosophy, and poetry. He has been particularly drawn to the works of authors such as Bret Easton Ellis, Edgar Allan Poe, Descartes, and Oscar Wilde. While he does not aspire to be a writer himself, he finds value in studying these classic texts, which have enriched his understanding of philosophical ideas and deepened his perspective on life.
As he looks to the future, Griffith is focused on completing his psychology degree and exploring the career opportunities that lie ahead. Graduate studies and clinical work are natural next steps in his field. Still, he is also intrigued by the growing importance of organizational behavior, especially as industries increasingly emphasize diversity and inclusion. Additionally, his skills in digital design offer another potential career path, and he is eager to develop a freelance business that could complement his work in psychology.
