Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI because it gives me the chance to explore my interests while constantly meeting new people. Coming from a smaller community, I love how UCI introduces me to diverse perspectives and experiences every day. The campus is big enough to support my passions but also full of opportunities to discover new ones.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

Being a successful Anteater means making the most of the resources UCI offers. From academic advising to career workshops and student organizations, there are countless opportunities to grow and connect with others. Stepping out of your comfort zone to meet new people can be challenging, but the relationships you build can be just as valuable as what you learn in the classroom. UCI provides a strong support system, and taking advantage of it can make all the difference in your college experience.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

A fun fact about me is that I am a big fan of Crayon Shin-Chan! I have a collection of merchandise, from clothing to utensils, and I visited his hometown in Japan last summer!
