• What does being a First-Generation College Graduate mean to you?

This not only means that I accomplished one of my great dreams but also one of my parents' dreams. It not only means that I graduate but that my parents and family's effort and sacrifices have not been for nothing. Together we have accomplished this.

• What is your proudest moment from your time at UCSD?

My proudest moment would have to be getting out of my shell and exploring different centers and work possibilities.

• 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?

The most influential people have not only been my family but also my close friends. I would like to thank them all for being there for me through the tough times and the good times. I thank them for helping push me to be better and to succeed.

• What do you plan or hope to do after graduating?

I hope to get some time to relax and take a well deserved break as well as looking forward to gaining job experience.
