Describe your college experience
Transitioning to college was challenging at first, but I quickly adapted by getting involved on campus and building strong routines. Being active in student organizations and leadership roles has helped me feel connected, confident, and supported at UCSD.
Tip for future students
Get involved early, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and build a routine that works for you. Using campus resources sooner makes a huge difference.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Comparative Politics (POLI 11) because it helped me understand how different political systems work and how global power and inequality shape societies.
Career goals
After college, I hope to pursue law, with interests in either human rights or corporate law, applying policy analysis and advocacy skills in a legal career.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Relaxing with friends, grabbing food on or near campus, and unwinding with a movie or late-night conversations.
