Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI’s location and campus! I originally come from a small desert town, so I love UCI’s proximity to places like Newport, Laguna, and Disneyland. I also love trying new foods, and Orange County has so many good eats to explore. What really drew me to UCI is our beautiful campus; I love walking around and studying at the libraries here and taking in all the nature and greenery!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
As college students, our mental and physical well-being is sometimes the last thing on our minds. But for me personally, taking care of my body and mind has made all the difference when it comes to keeping up with my motivation and drive for school! I’ve made it a higher priority to eat well, catch up on sleep, keep my body active, and catch up with friends and family whenever I have the time.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I love going to concerts, journaling, thrifting, reading books, and cooking.
