I am currently a first year microbiology major with a proposed minor in bioinformatics. Being from San Jose, I know the local area very well and will happy to answer any questions you have. I hope through this tour you will gain a better knowledge of the academics and facilities here at UC Santa Cruz.

Describe your college experience

So far through orientation, I have been accustomed well to the goings on at UCSC. It has not been easy, especially with choosing classes and fitting them into my schedule, but soon I hope to be well acclimated to the demanded academic environment UCSC requires for successful college life.

Tip for future students

Do orientation as soon as possible and use your advising resources!

Favorite class

Since orientation is the only class I've taken so far, I have to say that. It has been informative and very useful to me as an incoming freshman.

Career goals

I hope to attend medical school for immunology, and work at a clinic in the San Francisco area.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I usually play guitar or listen to music! I am very involved in the underground music community and hope to release my own material at some point.

Favorite spot on campus

through my tours, I would have to say the Science and Engineering Library. It has provided a calm environment, ideal for studying.
