Describe your college experience
I love Berkeley. I came into college with a good foundation because my older brother went here as well. Although there have been highs and lows there are always people in my communities that are willing and able to lend a helping hand. I’ve found sound communities in the athletic department and within my sorority and I genuinely wouldn’t trade my experience for the world. I have found everything I could ever want at this institution and am so grateful for this opportunity.
Tip for future students
There is going to be a struggle, whether it is competing academically in a rigorous course or social discourse. You just need to be ready to take on whatever comes at you and know that there is always a way out of your problem and it will be better on the other side.
Favorite class
My favorite class here has been my R1A class, my professor was amazing and was very engaging. She made the two three hour classes enjoyable and the content wasn’t the most interesting but I was invested.
Career goals
Post undergrad I plan on completing either an MBA or a masters in sports management and work in collegiate or professional athletic event management.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Getting dinner with my friends or sisters and watching a movie spending time together <3 or going to SF and exploring what the city has to offer.
