What does being a First-Generation College Graduate mean to you?
It means that I've made my family so proud of me and accomplished something great.
What is your proudest moment from your time at UCSD?
I'm most proud of being able to graduate in three years!
Who are the family members, friends or loved ones who have been most influential throughout your college journey? Are there any words of gratitude you would like to share with them?
My parents have by far been the most influential. They have pushed me to be my best and kept me motivated when I felt like giving up. I wouldn't have made it this far without their support. Thank you!!

I plan on going to grad school to become a substance abuse counselor.
