Hi! I'm Dani, an international student passionate about business, tech, and finance. I love meeting new people, sharing insights about student life, and showing prospective students around our beautiful campus!

Hometown

Barcelona, Spain.

Major(s)

Business and Technology (Management of Technology ​/​ Computer Science & Engineering ​/​ Economics)

Clubs, organizations & involvement

I am highly involved in digital marketing, e-commerce operations, and exploring new tech trends. I also love sports, outdoor activities, and connecting with students from different cultural backgrounds.

Describe your college experience

My college journey has been an incredible ride. Balancing business, finance, and web development has taught me how to solve real-world problems creatively. Transitioning to college life was all about stepping out of my comfort comfort zone, discovering my passion for digital entrepreneurship, and now, taking on an amazing international experience at UCSC!

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to start your own projects outside of the classroom, whether it's a small business, a tech side-project, or joining a new club. College is the best time to experiment, make mistakes, and learn by doing.

Favorite class

Anything related to Management of Technology or Web Applications. I love classes where tech meets business strategy, as they give you the literal tools to build products and launch modern digital businesses.

Career goals

My goal is to thrive at the intersection of technology and personal finance. I am highly interested in financial markets, investment platforms, and using tech tools to build data-driven strategies and automate business workflows.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Grabbing food with friends, discussing new project ideas, listening to good music, or just relaxing outdoors and exploring coastal spots.

Favorite spot on campus

Since I am an incoming international student, I haven't spent much time on campus yet, but I am absolutely looking forward to exploring the redwood forest paths and the unique campus architecture. I love nature, so being able to study surrounded by giant trees is what I'm most excited about!
