Tell us a little about you.
I was raised in Oceanside by mom and grandparents. I love going to the beach, playing the violin and cheerleading!
Why did you choose ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ?
I chose ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ because of the tight-knit community on campus and throughout town. I love how everyone strives to be the best version of themselves without stepping on everyone's toes. We are a group of competitive, high-achieving students, but not hostile in or outside the classroom.
What do you enjoy doing for fun here?
In Davis, I love going to the farmers market and getting boba with my friends. I also enjoy going to SF to watch the Giants play!
What activities have you been involved in here?
- ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ Cheerleading Team
- ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ Campus Judicial Board
- ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ Tour Guide
- ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ Undergraduate Admissions - Communication Team
What do you like about academics and student life here?
I like how a lot of my classes are seminar-based, which really allows effective, respectful collaboration — a non-hostile environment.
How has ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ helped you grow?
Because of the quarter system, I've learned how to manage my time and how to discipline myself.
What would you tell prospective students about ´ºÉ«ÊÓƵ?
Stingers down and go Ags!
