Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because everyone here is motivating and inspiring. As a first-generation college student, it has been refreshing and exciting to attend such a diverse campus. By connecting with others, I learned so much about perspective and pursuing one’s passions. Everyone inspires me to continue working hard and climbing up the mountain.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
You can be a successful Anteater by using all of your resources. Not only campus resources but find resources within each other by building connections and networking. Everyone has their own story and personal experiences. With such a diverse group of students, you can learn something from everyone you encounter on campus.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about myself is that I love coffee. To distress and romanticize studying you can find me at cozy coffee shops drinking an americano or a matcha.
