When in Santa Cruz, the one thing you’re going to learn how to do is dress in layers. Clarissa Hyun, is pictured layering her plaid shirt with a cute v-neck light knit sweater. Layering is important especially with the weather that shifts in temperature throughout the day. This look can easily allow Clarissa to switch from a warmer winter look to cool plaid enough for her to enjoy the breeze. Not only are these layers well put together, Clarissa is sporting a pretty preppy look- ready to conquer her studies. Go Girl!

 

My name is Geraldine Nicdao, a UC Santa Cruz '14 Banana Slug Alum. From day one, I was born and raised a U.S. Navy Brat and spent most of my life growing up in Japan. A few things that I absolutely love are steak, fashion, and travel. I am always striving to go beyond the cookie cutter and constantly defying everybody's expectations. One of my biggest accomplishments to date, would be finishing the Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco 2013. Not many know this, but I also was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and so I've had my fair challenges balancing the life of a college student and the obstacles of health. My philosophy is: "work hard and play harder" because I believe that self care is important which includes rewarding yourself for the hard work that you do- "treat yo' self!". Looking at my Instagram will give you a bit of an insight to my fun and busy bee life. One of my current projects includes the #BangingBootyProject which is a document of my goals, efforts, and strides on my own health and fitness journey. Over the next few years, I am planning to pursue a second degree in Communications and PR/Marketing.
