About Us

Leti Fernandez is a fifth-year double majoring in Mathematics and Spanish. Upon graduating she would like to pursue a career in Soccer Sports Data Analysis and become a professional soccer coach. She would also like to continue her involvement in STEM outreach programs whose missions are to advocate for underrepresented communities and women pursuing careers in STEM. One of her biggest goals is to raise awareness and bridge the racial gap in STEM education in order to improve representation for minority students in throughout the STEM academic landscape. Leticia hopes to be able to give back and make a difference in the lives of those in her community. On her free time she enjoys playing soccer and exploring the great outdoors.

Emi Cervantes is a third-year majoring in Mathematics with minors in Statistics and Bioinformatics. After graduating, she plans to get a Ph.D. in Statistics, and work in a clinical trial research. In her free time, she enjoys making bracelets, watching anime, and playing spikeball. She hopes to become a spikeball champion one day.

Owen Lin is a junior double majoring in Mathematics and Quantitative Economics. He expresses interest in statistics/ data/ finance and would like to pursue a career in these fields. Additionally, he wants to explore different applications of theoretical knowledge in real world problems. At the same time, he is passionate about supporting peer students and creating a inclusive learning environment. In his free time, he enjoys practicing table tennis.

Emily Wang is a first-year majoring in Mathematics with an ICS minor. She is planning on pursuing a career in computational math. This area interests her because computer science and math concepts can be applied to many real-world situations. She hopes to be able to use computational math methods and techniques in many of the theories and experiments in the field of biology to help the research of diseases and medicine. In her free time, Emily enjoys swimming, photography, and exploring new places.

Xiaohan Zhao is a third-year math major student at UCI minoring in Statistics. She likes to take on challenges. In addition to mathematics, she also took a lot of physics and computer courses. In the future, she would like to go to graduate school for more in-depth study in biostatistics. In the community, she hopes to use more ingenious, vivid and life-like methods to make more people fall in love with mathematics, experience the fun that mathematics brings to us and improve our logical thinking. She hopes to help fellow math students, alumni, and professors build deeper friendships. At the same time, she hopes to help more mathematics students in terms of academics, career planning, and enriching backgrounds through her own experience and lessons.

Jacinta Zhou is a second year majoring in Mathematics. She’s particularly drawn to the topics of optimality and uncertainty. Equations describing optimal behavior often present serious computational challenges. She thinks the purpose of human development is to find the most optimal way of life and to search for the simplest path to answers.
