Describe your college experience
I have loved my experience here as I got to meet so many new people. I came in being one of the only people from my high school and was scared. However, through joining club golf, a few clubs, and chatting in classes, I met more friends than I could have ever imagined!
Tip for future students
My biggest tip would be to build as many connections as you can. Not only are friends good to have for fun, but they are also your gateway to the career you want. Also, I would argue to reach out to tons of people. You never know who will be your new best friend!
Favorite class
My favorite class is advanced macroeconomics. This is Econ 11 at ucla. I find the idea of understanding utility and ways to maximize profit using mathematics highly interesting. To me it felt like a class on how to be successful in life using economics.
Career goals
I am pursuing a career in wealth management. It involves investment decision making, chatting with clients, and taking entrepreneurial attitudes towards your career.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I enjoy spending a school night playing a round of basketball! Possibly getting an ice cream after. And to end the night chatting with friends.
High school or secondary school
