Where is your hometown? Sacramento, California
What are some hobbies/extracurricular activities of yours? Currently, I’m volunteering in two different elementary schools and at Rady Children’s Hospital. In my free time, I love reading, trying new places to eat, watching movies, etc.
Relationship status? Taken!
What is the coolest/randomest event that happened to you this academic year? I had the opportunity of having my first White Christmas ever! I spent Christmas in Chicago with my boyfriend and his family and it was pretty cool, literally and figuratively.
What do you like most about UCSD? I think UCSD has a lot of really inspiring, talented, genuinely good people. I’ve been fortunate enough to cross paths with a lot of people who have helped me realize the person that I want to become.
Who is somebody you look up to? My dad. He grew up in rural Illinois with 12 brothers and sisters. Despite every obstacle thrown at him, he persevered through it all and got not only a college degree, but also a PhD. He’s part of the reason why I want to become an elementary school teacher, to help every child realize his/her full potential.
