Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI because of its immense opportunities to explore outside of the classroom. From the many clubs to support and join on Ring Road to the vast connections that can be formed in a very work-focused district like Irvine, there are always things to look out for that might spark your interest! Also, Irvine is a great city to be a part of as there are so many open spaces to visit like its parks and trails to amazing, well-known beaches.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

You can become a successful Anteater by setting goals for yourself each quarter/year and creating a schedule that can fit in all of your academic interests but also leave space for extracurricular actives and time for yourself. College is place for all students to develop personal skills and explore different programs/careers, plus give you the social space to make life-long memories.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I’ve been to 14 countries, with Australia being the farthest! I’m super fortunate to be able to travel with my parents and have loved experiencing other cultures throughout the years. I hope to study abroad in Europe next year!
