Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
UCI challenged me to become a better student and to show myself what I am truly capable of. Without UCI, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. UCI offers many opportunities to students and a beautiful campus. Professors truly care about students succeeding! I am grateful for all the connections and amazing friendships I have made.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
Everyone has a different meaning of success. Allow yourself to think about what success means to you, and find resources to help you achieve your goals! No matter how you describe success, find a group of people who will support you along your journey. It is okay to ask for help when needed. Remember that UCI offers many opportunities and has a large faculty that is willing to support you.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is I love to spend my time outdoors!
