Personal Biography
Why do you love UCI?
One of the perks of having such a big campus is that UCI has a place for everybody. Whoever you are or whatever you want to do, I’m sure that if you do a little bit of looking you’ll find a group of people or an involvement for you. I also like that the campus itself is a big circle, so you’ll never truly get lost.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
I’d say just follow your own path and do your own thing. Also don’t be afraid to ask for help. I know that’s one thing I still struggle with, but there’s a whole host of people whose job is to help students in need (i.e. PAA), so don’t be afraid to reach out when you need it. College is a scary place so do what you can to make it less scary for you.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
Fun fact about me is that I used to work summer jobs as a henna tattoo artist back in high school.
