Why do you love UCI?

The incredible people I’ve met and grown alongside with at UCI have shaped my experience here in ways I will always cherish. The friendships, memories, intellectual and personal growth I’ve gained here are truly invaluable. I also appreciate UCI’s commitment to student success by providing a wealth of resources that support individuals from all backgrounds, all set within a beautiful and walkable campus.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

Community plays a huge role in shaping your time at UCI, and many students find that the people they meet become one of the most parts of their college experience. Getting involved, whether through clubs or events, can enrich your journey in unexpected ways. At the same time, it’s also great to fully utilize the many resources available at UCI that exist to support you. Be open minded about new opportunities, they can lead to unexpected growth and connections! Ultimately, a college education is more than just a degree, but also the people you meet and experiences you gain along the way.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

I can count from 1 to 10 in six different languages!
