Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because of the amazing family I have made here! I have met the most important people in my life and my closest friends, and I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world. I also love the beautiful campus, and this place has become a second home for me!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
You can be a successful Anteater by taking initiative! I know how scary college can seem, and how new scenarios are daunting. I’ve been there! But once you start out and take the first leap, you’ll always find that nothing is as scary as it seems.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I love to sew and make my own clothes! I’m really inspired by J-fashion and other alternative fashions. I also love the creative aspect of designing and patterning, in tandem with the deep focus it requires.
