I am a fourth-year chemistry student at UCSB. I play volleyball, love to work out, and am involved in on and off-campus events. I have experience navigating new changes as I am a transfer student from community college.

Describe your college experience

My transition to a university was scary, but it was exciting. Moving from a semester school to a quarter system school seemed daunting; however, I learned to love it. The environment and resources definitely make the transitioning process a lot smoother.

Tip for future students

I wish I knew how to get involved more and what learning what resources are available for me.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been Chem 6CL, which is an organic lab. I liked this because I was able to lead my own project and synthesize a pharmaceutical drug.

Career goals

I hope to either pursue a master's degree in Materials Science or get a job within military propellant science.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I typically spend a free night in two ways, I like to make a home-cooked meal and watch a show, or I would experience the nightlife in Isla Vista.

High school or secondary school

I went to the Palmdale Aerospace Academy

Previous college

I transferred from Antelope Valley College

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is the Lagoon because its nice to sit and admire the water while sitting on the beautiful grass.
