Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because of the people at UCI. Everyone is really welcoming and want to see each other succeed which warms my heart. I have met some wonderful people during my time at UCI who have made my UCI experience, fun and enriching.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
To be a successful Anteater, you have to be willing to take risks and initiative to go after what you want. Playing it safe and settling for the bare minimum is not a characteristic of successful Anteaters. Successful Anteaters follow their heart and passion to achieve great heights.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I got published in the sports column of a national newspaper. It was back in 2014 when I gave my opinion about whether Roger Federer should retire from tennis. I did not think he should have retired since he had a lot of tennis left in him and I turned out to be right because he ended up retiring in 2022 after winning 3 more Grand Slam titles
