Why do you love UCI?
I love UCI because of the chill, sunny, and beautiful campus. The location is also great with so much nature, good food, and cities nearby. I also love the opportunity UCI provides for every student to thrive in their passions. The school community and the smaller communities within make meeting new people a lot of fun also!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
I think being a successful Anteater starts with a positive, growth mindset. Believing in your own abilities, trusting the process in things, and enjoying every passing day rather than always looking towards the future are all things that foster this! I also think college is a great time to put yourself out there, meet people and not be afraid to try new things. And through all of this, building good habits in and outside of the classroom is also important!
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I love night runs and ran the Orange County marathon as a 1st year!
