Bio

Hometown: Vancouver, BC

Major: Theatre and Dance, A.B.

Future Career: Maybe to be an online school teacher or a librarian, perhaps in a university setting. Or an advisor of some type, maybe in a school, or maybe go to graduate school. I have no idea where my life will take me yet!

Personal Interests: Books, funny YouTube videos, Disney, Royal Family History (Especially The British Royal Family)

Campus Involvement: University Honors Program, Phi Beta Kappa Inductee, Class of 2026. 

How I can help you: I want to help new first-year students learn what resources are available to them, and how they can use them to their best advantage.  

When I started at UC Davis I felt... Like there had been an accident in the acceptance and I was not supposed to be there. Imposter syndrome, effectively. Especially because I have autism, and I was absolutely certain no one would want me in a world-class university setting. That changed quickly, though! 

Advice for incoming first-year UHP students: It is normal to feel strange going from a semester system to a quarter system. Your professors and advisors are there to help you. Also, drop a class if you feel like it is too much to handle (the class can be taken at a later time). My best advice: Start early on homework, and finish before the due date, so that you can relax and really enjoy the experience that is life!
