Why do you love UCI?

UCI’s been transformative. Here, I’ve explored interests, unearthed passions (and dislikes!), and grown the confidence to step outside my comfort zone. Amazing mentors have encouraged me to seize opportunities – I wouldn’t be the same without them!

How can you be a successful Anteater?

Embrace unfamiliar and new spaces! Being yourself is key at UCI, but so is embracing new experiences! Panels, clubs, and mentors open doors you never knew existed. Explore it all – you’ll find your people and discover amazing things, both about UCI and yourself!

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I love to make collages out of old newspapers and magazines.
