Hi! I am a approaching my 3rd year at UCLA and am a biology pre-medicine student! I love to enjoy life in SoCal by going on runs​/​hikes around the beautiful campus, trying all the infamously amazing UCLA food, and visiting UCLA​/​LA landmarks. I have experienced a lot of UCLA​/​LA life and always try to join new opportunities and have new experiences. I am so eager to share this insight with you!

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been so rewarding and balanced. At UCLA, I feel like I am able to function at my maximum productivity, balance my social and academic life, and get involved in new opportunities that push me out of my comfort zone! I truly believe that I have become a better version of myself in college.

Tip for future students

Focus on balance! Make sure to try new things and put yourself out there but also have sometime to yourself so you can grow as a person through understanding yourself better in this new environment!

Favorite class

My favorite class has been LS 30A (a life science math class for primarily freshmen life science majors). This has been my favorite class because it has challenged me the most, taught me a lot about myself as a learner, and fostered my passion for life sciences.

Career goals

I hope to attend medical school to become an OBGYN. Then, I hope to specialize in fertility.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is hanging out with a small group of my friends, dressing up, going out to LA to a hot new food spot, getting dessert, taking some pictures, and just enjoying the city!
