Our Leadership

2026–27 Executive Board

Meet the students guiding BAHT’s first year at Ohio State. Our board brings together different academic backgrounds around a shared commitment to thoughtful education, prevention, and community involvement.

President

Sullivan Stois

Class of 2027Psychology

Sullivan founded Buckeyes Against Human Trafficking after his work in behavioral health and a service trip to Atlanta showed him the importance of prevention, survivor support, and sustained community involvement. His background in psychological research and trauma-informed care continues to shape his commitment to building BAHT thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with guidance from survivors and community organizations already doing this work. He hopes the organization will give Ohio State students meaningful ways to learn, serve, and contribute to lasting change in how trafficking and exploitation are understood and addressed.

Vice President

Mikiah Fant

Class of 2027Sociology · Minor in Couple and Family Therapy · Pre-Law

Mikiah is a senior studying sociology with a minor in couple and family therapy on the pre-law track. She has spent the past year working as an ABA therapist with children on the autism spectrum and hopes to become a child psychotherapist specializing in autism spectrum disorder and eating disorders; she has also studied abroad in five countries through Ohio State! Mikiah joined BAHT because she wants more people to understand that sex trafficking often involves coercion, manipulation, vulnerability, and exploitation—not only the dramatic kidnapping narratives portrayed in movies. As Vice President, she hopes to bring greater awareness, accuracy, and compassion to conversations about trafficking and the people it affects.

Treasurer

Dylan Koch

Class of 2029Pharmaceutical Sciences

Dylan is a second-year student studying pharmaceutical sciences and serves as BAHT’s Treasurer. His interest in trafficking education began on a Buck-I-SERV trip to Atlanta, where he spent a week with the Medici Project learning about trafficking and listening to survivors share their experiences. When Sully approached Dylan and Henry about bringing that work home to Columbus, Dylan immediately saw the need for stronger education and awareness on campus and throughout the community. Through BAHT, he hopes to help turn what they learned in Atlanta into meaningful action at Ohio State.

Secretary

Kiana Draper

Class of 2028Social Work

Kiana is a third-year social work major and serves as BAHT’s Secretary. She first learned about human trafficking in eighth grade and has remained passionate about the issue ever since, continuing to build her understanding through independent research and coursework. Kiana believes it is especially important to raise awareness of how trafficking affects local communities and college students. She joined BAHT to help educate others and take meaningful action to prevent trafficking in the Columbus community.

Outreach/Volunteer Coordinator

Henry Thomas

Class of 2029Political Science · Minors in French and Civics · Pre-Law

Henry is a sophomore majoring in political science with minors in French and civics on the pre-law track. He joined BAHT because he is interested in how law and public policy can support trafficking prevention, hold exploiters accountable, and protect survivors. Henry hopes to carry that commitment into his future legal career and use the law to help people affected by trafficking. As Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator, he looks forward to connecting Ohio State students with thoughtful, responsible ways to serve their community.
