Why do you love UCI?
UCI in my opinion has something for everyone! Even if you are unsure of your future, there are so many opportunities to try out to see what you like best. On top of that, Irvine itself has many lovely commodities such as Mason Park, OCMA, Irvine Library, Spectrum Center, and much more. UCI creates a safe space that allows students to explore and thrive in whatever they love to do!
How can you be a successful Anteater?
To be a successful Anteater I think you need to have a plan. Even if the plan changes, you want to be prepared for whatever comes your way. Once in a lifetime opportunities will present themselves and you’ll need to figure out how to incorporate them into your life. By having a balance between academics and personal life, you will be able to achieve anything you want!
What is one fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about myself is that I have an interest in language learning. While I only speak two right now, I hope to add ASL to that someday. I had become very interested in language around middle school and it fueled my interest in traveling the world. I just have to get over my fear of flying first hahaha!
