Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI for the community. I grew up in South OC so there’s nothing better than living in Orange County while also meeting people from all different areas at UCI. UCI is very diverse and I love being able to learn from all kinds of new perspectives. Not to mention UCI is surrounded by beauty.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

I can be a successful Anteater by giving back to the UCI community and playing my part at UCI! Getting involved in activities and meeting people makes for great success. Balancing academics as well as work and a social life is the key to success. School and family always comes first to me, so taking that mindset into being an Anteater is the way to go.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I did not know how to cook until my third year of college. All my friends knew me as the girl who couldn’t cook until I started making them dinner this year. Still working on chicken though.
