Personal Biography

Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI because of how welcomed I felt when I first transferred here. Coming into a new environment with little to no connections, I felt lost and alone. There were so many people here willing to help me, provide support, and help me grow should I ever ask. The welcoming atmosphere is just one of the many reasons I love UCI.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

Being proactive! Get comfortable with being uncomfortable! These two pieces of advice have helped me meet so many new people and opened up amazing opportunities for me. Take advantage of the time you have at UCI because the years fly by very very quickly.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I have a twin brother who also transferred, is also at UCI, and is in the same major as me.
