Why did you choose UC San Diego?
I chose UC San Diego because of their prestigious STEM reputation. From the beginning, I knew that was an important aspect to me when applying and picking which college to attend because I wanted to enter into a STEM related field. I also chose UC San Diego because of the great location. I feel very lucky to be here in La Jolla with beaches and nice weather all year round.
What do you like to do for fun?
One of my favorite things to do is go to concerts and I am really excited this year because I am seeing Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift. Also, I love going to hockey games and I am finally going to a game for the first time since Covid to watch my favorite hockey team, the Arizona Coyotes. I recently rediscovered my passion for reading and have been rereading old favorites, while exploring different genres.
What advice do you have for incoming Native college students?
My advice for incoming Native college students is to become involved with campus organizations and activities that you have an interest in. Initially college can be really lonely, but joining organizations will allow you to meet so many new people. It is also important because it allows you as a student to take time to enjoy yourself and not be constantly stressed about school.
