Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love the environment at UCI, the campus and area in general is very pretty and calming. It makes me motivated to be here. I also love the people I have met and the communities I was able to join.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
To be a successful Anteater you have to be your best supporter! Classes are rigorous and time-consuming, and with additional involvements on and off campus, it can be overwhelming to handle it all. Being able to believe in yourself and keep your determination is the key to being able to succeed. Although you have to be your motivation finding support on campus from different resources or people is also important. You can’t handle everything on your own! Building connections is also key.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I can juggle.
