- I'm an 18-year-old pre-med, 1st year student at UCLA majoring in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics, and minoring in Neuroscience. - I went through college applications season independently, and I hope to share my self-gained knowledge to others. - I'm committed to providing genuine, tangible, and valuable information to aspiring college students. - Proactive leadership has taught me to always listen, learn, and love. - I believe that building genuine, interpersonal relationships with others leverages both parties. - Perfection is impossible, but I'll always strive to achieve the best for myself and my community.

Describe your college experience

College has been the best experience for me. Being able to gain independence has taught me how to manage classes, studying, clubs, research, leisure, and rest. I have grown as a student, friend, and person due to the valuable connections I have made. UCLA specifically is a school that requires students to be proactive leaders and disciplined workers.

Tip for future students

- Take every opportunity you have, as it might lead you to somewhere valuable - Meet as many people as you can - Enjoy every moment because time passes extremely quickly - What you put in is truly what you take out - Talk and ask questions to me for more specific tips... I've got many! ;)
