Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because it has one of the best criminology programs in the nation! There are also many opportunities to get involved in research, join clubs, and get to know the people on campus. UCI has resources for all students no matter their background, experience, and culture. Finally, it is always fun to make new friends on campus.

It is important for an Anteater to know that they are not alone on their journey. Others are here to guide you through your college experience.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
