Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI because it blends a friendly, varied community with demanding academics. The university’s emphasis on research and multidisciplinary collaboration motivates me to push limits and pursue new ideas. The friendly school atmosphere empowers every student to flourish.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

Being a successful Anteater, in my opinion, requires striking a balance between having a strong sense of organization, flexibility, and a sincere desire to learn, as well as efficient time management, steadfast devotion, and patience. It also entails prioritizing tasks clearly, adjusting to obstacles, and always seeking for methods to do better. At UCI, this combination of abilities enables you to succeed both academically and intellectually.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I’m a picky eater—cereal is my go-to meal because it’s simple and always hits the spot. I’m a middle child, and I love reading books in my free time. There’s nothing better than diving into a great story and exploring new worlds.
