Hi! I’m a UT Austin student who loves meeting new people and sharing my experience on campus. I’m involved in student organizations and enjoy exploring everything Austin and UT have to offer. I’m excited to help future students feel comfortable, answer questions, and show what life at UT is really like beyond just the classroom!

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been a mix of learning, meeting new people, and figuring things out along the way. At first, it took some time to adjust, but getting involved on campus really helped me find my place and enjoy everything UT has to offer.

Tip for future students

Get involved early and don’t be afraid to talk to people or try new things, it makes a huge difference in finding your community and future best friends.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my biology lab because it’s very hands-on and helps bring what we learn in lecture to life through experiments and real lab work.

Career goals

After college I plan to attend medical school and become a doctor in the future.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Grabbing food from somewhere on Guad, hanging out with friends, and just unwinding after a busy week. I like low-key nights where I can catch up with people, explore new spots around campus, or just relax and recharge.
