How have your years at La Verne shaped you as an individual?
Coming from my background, as a homeschooled student, I’ve always seen pros and cons as far as its preparation of me for my future. I believe that in coming here to La Verne I have gained a greater confidence in myself that I was lacking before. I believe this would not have come if not for the faculty, fellow students and close friends that have been there for me. I have also received much support from the Chemistry Department whom I am currently a TA for. Those have been a great encouragement to me and my future career endeavors.

Korea, Israel, or Brazil!
Plans after graduation?
I hope to continue on into Chemical Engineering. Possibly direct my path into the makeup industry. Who knows, maybe I’ll eventually come out with products of my own one day.
