Why do you love UCI?
UCI is the perfect school for me because of its friendly environment, beautiful campus, and close proximity to home. I love how exciting and fun every day can be, and how supportive all of my teachers and peers are. The campus is filled with such a diverse group of students that there’s always something new to learn. Plus, there’s so much to do in this area with friends, whether it’s going to Irvine Spectrum or hanging out at UTC to get boba. At UCI, I can make the most of my college experience!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
Like the business teachers say, “be comfortable being uncomfortable.” As daunting as it sounds, networking is crucial in college. Whether it’s speaking up in class or joining clubs, you need to put yourself out there, get involved, and find the people who push you to do your best. Even though college is fun, it can also be overwhelmingly different from high school. Make sure to try new things and stay on top of your work-life balance! If you ever need help, all you have to do is ask!
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I’ve competed in the Junior Olympics 3 times for Women’s Foil Fencing.
