What’s one of your favorite UCI memories? Last year when it tsunami-ed at Irvine and rained horribly for like a week, my friends and I played mud football in Aldrich park slipping and sliding and falling all over. After we finished playing and were covered in mud, we decided to rinse off by going for a swim in the infinity fountain, which was freezing!
 
What’s your favorite thing to do on campus?Longboarding at night around the school.

What do you want to do after you graduate from UCI? I’mnot entirely sure what I want to do yet. I am looking into some graduate programs as well as applying to Teach For America and the Peace Corps.

Any quotes you live by? I don’t necessarily live my life by any quote but I do really like two quotes… the first by Mother Teresa, “In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.” The second a quote by Winston Churchill, “ You make a living but what you get, but you make a life by what you give.”

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? I would go to Brazil in 2014 so that I could go to the World Cup.
