Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because it feels like a second home to me. UCI has such a welcoming environment, between the nature filled campus and the sense of community I have found in my extracurriculars, I truly feel like I have a place on campus. UCI has given me friends, opportunity and the ability to find subjects that I am truly passionate to learn about. I am forever grateful that I chose attend college here at UC Irvine.

What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I love to tuft rugs with yarn and a tufting gun!
