Why do you love UCI?

The moment I stepped on campus it felt like home even after being 8000 miles away. The campus feels welcoming, and there’s a strong sense of support among students, whether it’s through clubs, a discord server, or just hanging out at Aldrich Park. The greenery never fails to cheer me up. I have found opportunities at UCI which I could never imagine being in before!

How can you be a successful Anteater?

You have to be hungry for everything and getting involved is key. UCI has so many resources and communities, and the more you put yourself out there, the more you learn and grow. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, take initiative, and most importantly, support others along the way, that’s what lead me to be a PAA today!

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I can do a pretty accurate pigeon/owl sound
