Fun Facts
What activities are you involved in?
I’m part of UCR Chamber Singers and the LGBTQ CORE Program.
Â
What’s your favorite movie?
I can’t decide!! I have too many. Let’s see, there’s Mean Girls and Rent. I basically love watching comedies, dramas, and musicals.
Your favorite TV show?
Glee, of course. I also watch Degrassi, Pretty Little Liars, and Anime shows.
Â
Do you have any siblings?
I have two brothers, a sister, and a dog.
Â
Why did you choose Chemistry as your major?
In high school I thought that Chemistry was going to be a class where we’d be experimenting with chemicals and blowing stuff up. But when I actually took the class, I was disappointed because we didn’t get to do any of that stuff. But I had a great teacher who made the class fun and I found myself loving lab work. So when I came to UCR I decided to major in it.

Fun Facts Contintued..
I can listen to about everything except for screamo, and heavy metal. I mostly listen to pop, dance, and soft/slow music. It really all just depends on my mood.
Â
I see that you’re in choir. How long have you been in it and why do you enjoy it?
I went to an elementary school where we had to take classes in dance, choir, art, and theater. I didn’t really get involved in choir until high school. In 9th grade, I started out in the beginning choir and from 10th to 12th grade, I was part of the advanced choir. Now, I’m part of the UCR Chamber Singers. I have been in a choir for about six years now. I enjoy being in a choir because I love to sing. It’s a great stress reliever and I get to travel to new places and meet new people. I also enjoy going to competitions, I’ve made some great friends along the way.
Â
Do you have any tips for students who are trying to balance schoolwork, extracurriculars, and work?
TIME MANAGEMENT! I know every advisor says this and it’s getting old, but it honestly helps. I have yet to mastered this! I think the best thing you can do is learn to prioritize what’s important and what isn’t.
Â
What’s your dream job?
I’m not so sure myself. I’m leaning towards forensic science and being a researcher because I love doing lab work.

Getting to Know Dennis
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
In 10 years, I see myself in a stable and functioning relationship. I will have a job that I’ll enjoy going to. I will live in a studio apartment or a house with a dog or two. And I ‘ll still be hanging out and laughing with my really close friends.
Â
Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Chocolate!! This is the reason why winter is the death of me because chocolate is everywhere!
What’s your favorite thing to do in Riverside?
I love driving around Riverside at night, walking around the Mission Inn, strolling along Fairmont Park, and hiking Mt. Rubidoux.
Â
What do you look for in a relationship?
I’m looking for someone I know I can go to whenever anything is wrong.
Â
What are some turn on/turn offs for you?
I don’t like guys with lots tattoos and piercings, especially not those with giant gauges. I would never be into anyone that does drugs, is always pessimistic, is extremely high-maintenanced, closed-minded, and overconfident and cocky. I like guys who are smart, honest, hard-working, dorky, quirky, “the good type of weird”, cute, willing to try new things, and someone who knows how to have fun and when to be serious.
Â
Do you have any life mottos?
I believe in karma. I try to be optimistic about every situation I’m in. I’ve also never hated anyone. I might find someone annoying, but I could never despise them.
