Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI because I have grown so much intellectually, socially, and personally during my time here. Through classes and extracurriculars, I have connected with so many different people who help me strive for success everyday and have motivated me to accomplish things I would’ve never imagined for myself. I feel like I always have people to lean on for support, study with on campus, and explore Orange County with.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

To become a successful Anteater, put yourself out there and get out of your comfort zone! College can be super stressful and overwhelming, but I’ve learned that what you put in is what you will get out. It is so worth it to find and try out different clubs or organizations that peak your interests. There are so many ways and opportunities to find what you’re looking for.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I trained in various dance styles my whole life, my favorites being tap and hip hop. I don’t train as often now, but I love taking hip hop classes at different studios around Orange County!
