Hi my name is Skyler, I am a 4th year student in my graduating year at University of California, Santa Barbara. I've been all over campus and all over the Goleta​/​Santa Barbara area. I've worked 2 jobs on campus including Dish Supervisor at De La Guerra Dining Commons and have been a Resident Assistant for 2 years in Residential Dorms (Anacapa & Santa Catalina South).

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been pretty hectic to say the least as I have mostly had a stacked class schedule (4-6 classes per quarter) as well as working 2 jobs. There were definitely times when balancing everything felt overwhelming, but it was mainly the people and the surrounding area that kept me grounded and made me realize how lucky I was to be in such an amazing place. I've found great professors and friends that have supported me throughout my journey. I can definitely say coming into my last year at UCSB that I will miss it dearly.

Tip for future students

Buy a laundry backpack and a woozoo fan. I definitely wished that I knew what GE classes were easy to take.

Favorite class

My favorite class was FAMST 107 (Introduction to Animation) because I loved to draw as a kid and it definitely brought some happy memories back to me and overall just learning about the animation process and making our own designs & animated shorts.

Career goals

Enroll into PA School or in a radiology technician program to get certified.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My way of spending a free night is taking the 24x bus to Santa Barbara to enjoy me a couple of slices of pizza and a ice cream from Mister Softee's

High school or secondary school

University Preparatory School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite place on campus is henley hall because its really nice and quiet inside so that I can study or chill there if I have some time to kill before lecture​/​section.
