What would you like to share with students about your experience at UCSB?
It was a bit frightening and I felt very lost at first, but with good support I was eventually able to find my way.
Top tips for fellow students?
If you are struggling in class, don't be afraid to go to office hours or communicate that with your professors and TAs as they are usually willing to work with you on the matter and might even be able to refer you to resources that can offer extra support.
Best advice you've received that has helped you at UCSB.
If you are curious about a field other than your own, take a class in it and see how you like it. If it turns out that you have a passion for it, remember that it is never too late to change or alter your direction.
Why did you choose to be an EOP peer mentor?
I wanted to do work in serving my community and connect with those who share in my experiences.
