As a Southern California Native, Los Angeles has always had a special place in my heart. Being home to the best university in the world, it was no surprise to me that I would have the best four years of my life in LA. I am a foodie so any chance I get I am always trying to eat good food. Whether it be with friends or with family when they come and visit me, I am always wanting to try new food spots to expand my food palate.

As of late, I have been trying to find some hiking and outdoor clubs because there are so many cool hiking spots near USC that overlook the skyline of LA and coastal cities of Southern California. I also love snowboarding, so visiting Big Bear with friends where we can hit the slopes is a fun way to bond and create cherishable memories. I think a great way to explore Los Angeles is through retreats and clubs because you are with people you spend most of your time with at school so being with them outside of a classroom setting is fun and exciting. I have not gotten around to using much of the Metro and bus transportation system here in LA because most of the time I am traveling by car with friends or family. However, I am trying to become more savvy and use the U-Pass provided by USC because it allows you to use the different transportation options at a discounted price. With the Metro, you can go to downtown LA or Santa Monica or wherever you want to go.

Growing up in Orange County, I have always been very familiar with the LA area, however, now that I am a college student living in LA, I am able to see the social side and nightlife of LA and work my way around the inner city and have fun.

I am studying Aerospace Engineering and I am from Aliso Viejo, CA. I will be graduating with the class of 2027. On campus, I worked on the aerodynamics subteam for the USC Racing and was also on the AeroDesign team. Right now, I am focusing on working with a professor as a resarch assistant through the Center for Undergraduate Research in Viterbi Engineering (CURVE). Outside of school, I love to workout, play soccer, and play video games.
