What is it like being an international student at UC?
Being an international student at UC has been an amazing experience because I love being part of our diverse and inclusive campus! Being from outside the country, I believe I bring a novel perspective in the organizations I’m involved with and am able to represent international students on campus. I’ve found a home in UC that comprises of my amazing friends, teachers and mentors!

Organizing events and meeting celebrities/artists who perform at UC!

How has your experience been co-oping at Kroger?
As an intern in the Indirect Sourcing department at Kroger Co., I have become a better professional, sourcing strategist and a team player. When I started my co-op, I had no idea there would be so many lessons to be learned, experiences to be gained and relationships to be made, but interning at Kroger has made all the difference.

What is your dream job?
Do my own business as an entrepreneur and eventually be a philanthropist.
Tell me about your best experience at UC.
I’ve had a really good time at UC, so I feel like every day has been a best experience since I’m living my dream of studying abroad! But to be more specific – Attending my first homecoming football game at UC this fall was a terrific experience! Even though it rained during the entire game and I was soaked for several hours, it was a fun and a memorable experience since we won (Go Bearcats!).
What advice would you give to college students looking for leadership positions?
UC has a lot of opportunities for people who want to grow as a leader on campus. So start by realising what’s best for you, network with new people and most importantly, don’t be afraid to pursue your beliefs because when people see your passion, they’ll believe in you and your leadership.
