Major: Community, Environment, and Planning

As an immigrant and a first-generation college student, my transition to university was challenging. I struggled to picture myself getting through not only my first quarter but also my first year. However, I was determined to give my best effort to succeed. I learned many valuable lessons during that initial period that I wish someone had shared with me beforehand. This is why I've become an academic success coach. My goal is to support you on your journey in any way I can and to remind you that, regardless of who you are and where you come from, you can thrive here!

I aspire to pursue a career in urban design and planning, although I'm still in the process of defining exactly what that entails. What I'm certain of is my desire to harness my creativity to the fullest and find genuine happiness in my work, all while making a positive impact on the lives of underrepresented communities.

I love going to museums, watching old movies, reading, journaling, playing the uke, and watching the sunset.

During my first year at UW I found it challenging to balance school, work, and being far away from home. I struggled with imposter syndrome and self-doubt. To overcome these obstacles, I decided to get more involved on campus, connecting with smaller communities of like-minded individuals who understood what I was going through. Additionally, maintaining a structured morning and night routine played a crucial role in keeping me grounded. It's often the small daily habits, like making your bed every morning, that can truly make a difference in our lives.
