What was your journey to CSP and what made you want to join the Golden Bears?
"I was recruited via a recruiting website. I came to CSP due to the atmosphere and the science department's reputation"
What makes the CSP community special to you?
"The community is so dear to me due to the nurturing atmosphere it has. I can trust in my professors, teammates and friends to help bring me up when I'm feeling down or to just be a support system when I need it. I know I struggled freshman year with homesickness, but my support system here made it all bearable."
Is there a faculty or staff member who has stood out to you, and why?
"Dr. Swedin, Dr. Mach and Dr. Yang. They are extremely personable and when I was going through some rough times they were always there for me, even if they didn't realize it."
