Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because it allows me to simultaneously pursue both areas that I am passionate about, arts and science! I love performing at the beautiful Barclay Theater and working with mice in a Neurobiology research lab. UCI has connected me with my closest friends, mentors, and incredible opportunities I would not have gotten if I had gone to college somewhere else. Zot Zot Zot!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
College is a time for self-discovery and growth. Giving yourself grace in stressful situations and remembering that you are worth so much more than a number on a test is incredibly important. Balance is crucial; make time for studying, but also have little pockets of joy for yourself like a lil’ treat at UTC or a trip with friends to the beach.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I am addicted to matcha!
