Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because everyone here is really looking out for each other’s success. Coming from high school, I was fully expecting every class to be cutthroat and competitive, but it turns out that each person here is so friendly and helpful. Even outside of academic settings, there’s so many people here that are supportive and caring that makes UCI an incredibly special place.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
Don’t beat yourself up! It’s normal to struggle, but don’t let it stop your grind. There are so many resources available to you and so many people who are willing to help and support you. Stay hopeful and keep your head up. And always remember to celebrate the small victories!
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I’m a huge pop and R&B guy. My favorite artists are Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Giveon. Honestly, I listen to all kinds of music and I’m always looking for recommendations, so feel free to hit me up if you have any suggestions :))
