Describe your college experience
UCLA has been amazing thanks to its vibrant cultural organizations and diverse campus life. Plus, being in LA means endless opportunities to explore food, arts, and communities from all over the world!
Tip for future students
UCLA has been incredible with its diverse cultural organizations, wide range of classes, and countless major options to explore. Being in Los Angeles adds even more excitement with amazing food, arts, and communities from around the world.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Comparative Literature 100 because it's a seminar-style course with texts from diverse global perspectives. I love getting to engage directly with the professor and classmates in thought-provoking discussions about literature and culture.
Career goals
After graduation, I want to pursue research in neuroscience while leveraging my multilingual skills to make mental health resources more accessible. I’m particularly passionate about reducing stigma in Latino communities by bridging gaps between scientific research and cultural understanding.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Head to Koreatown or Little Tokyo with friends for great food and catching up on the week.
