Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because of how many amazing opportunities and programs we have here on campus. I love the sense of community, Aldrich Park, and how easy it is to find people who inspire and support you. We have so many amazing resources and social opportunities here and there are so many reasons to love UCI!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
I can be a successful Anteater by prioritizing my academics and career goals! Staying organized through Google Calendar and my notes app are some of the little ways I stay on track and prioritize my academic goals. It can be easy to procrastinate in the moment but keeping up with the pace of the quarter is what I have found to be the most important part of being a successful Anteater.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I love to cook and hope to someday go to culinary school! While it is not something I am pursuing as a career, I have always been interested in experimenting with flavors and creating dishes that bring people together. Cooking is my way of expressing creativity and sharing love with friends and family!
