I am currently in my second year at UCSC. I am passionate about making the world a better place and my up-and-coming field of study will provide the tools for me to do that. On a smaller scale I believe a smile and a compliment go a long way to brighten my community and make someone's day. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.
Mastered customer service skills by taking orders, working the barista bar, and serving food. Worked busy weekends and holidays, learning to stay calm and productive in chaotic environments. Gained skills for effective communication and teamwork.
Worked early mornings setting up the booth, and traveled around the bay area selling pastries at farmers' markets, as well as on the UCSC campus. Gained an appreciation for hard work and sacrifice.
Gave back to my community by supervising and coaching elementary to middle school-age girls. Empowered and inspired young women through sports and positive role modeling. Gained significant experience with handling authority and leadership.
