Why do you love UCI?

I love UCI because of the abundance of resources made available to students! From academic to personal, UCI is committed to partnering with students to help them achieve their goals and become the best version of themselves. Furthermore, UCI boasts a beautiful campus and a student body that is welcoming, friendly, and supportive.

How can you be a successful Anteater?

To be a successful anteater, you must be proactive in getting help and becoming engaged. There are so many ways to get help at UCI, but that help will never come unless you make the effort to obtain it. It is essential to take advantage of UCI’s resources in order to make the most of your college experience and achieve success at UCI.

What is one fun fact about yourself?

A fun fact about me is that I am a diehard Lakers fan! I have loved the Lakers since I was a kid and draw a lot of inspiration from my favorite athlete, Kobe Bryant, who I actually got to meet at Disneyland in 2018!
