Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because it has shown me that there is so much more to life than I first thought there was. At UCI, I can almost never be bored in between classes because there is always something new to see, do, and experience. The people I’ve met, the connections I’ve made, and the memories I will continue to look back on are what keep me grateful for attending a university that purposefully fosters a positive student experience.
How can you be a successful Anteater?
The best way to find and achieve success as an anteater is to focus on something to be passionate about and use it to fuel your every move. Having a goal unique to your needs and future can be a great way to motivate and encourage yourself to keep doing your best. Everyday you spend at UCI is a step closer to that goal, and you’ll find yourself reaching it in no time.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I’m actually Canadian! My family used to visit Niagara Falls every year on my birthday whilst we lived there. I was only there up till Kindergarten so I don’t have the typical accent. However, I do love the snow and maple syrup.
