Describe your college experience

Much of the transition into college is navigating independency and structure. I've faced many of the typical challenges that come with college life such as belonging, rigor, life-balance, and more. I'm happy with Berkeley's fit to my personality and aspirations. I plan on making the most of the resources at the University for the remainder of my time!

Tip for future students

You may not have your entire future, or even present, all figured out, but use this time to explore and connect. Success is as simple as leaving this institution with something more valuable than a paper or a tuition fee can show.

Favorite class

HistArt R1B - I enrolled to satisfy an English credit but to my surprise, I found a liking to it! While this class is far from my major or interests, the small class size, discussion-based format, and creative aspect really drew me in.

Career goals

Pursue an MD or pursue strategy in healthcare

Ideal way to spend a free night

Try new food and hangout with friends! (if my workload permits)

High school or secondary school

Santa Fe High School

Meeting point

Sather Gate on the University of California, Berkley campus
