Tips for college success: Learn to be okay with leveraging your resources as a college student. Resources such as office hours, on-campus resource centers, and student-run organizations are a terrific way to receive additional help and create lasting relationships with faculty, staff, and fellow students. Research labs are another resource that allows you to get involved in subject matter that interests you. Internships, study abroad programs, and networking with professionals will allow you to grow and learn as you prepare for life after college.

My favorite UO fun fact: Two UO quarterback alumni have been drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers (formerly San Diego Chargers); Dan Fouts (1973, 64th pick) and Justin Herbert (2020, 6th pick).

Favorite campus and Eugene hangout: I enjoy walking through Autzen stadium and admiring the view. Off campus, you’ll see me asking for extra banchan and bowls of rice at the few Korean BBQ restaurants that Eugene has to offer.

Special skills, talents, or hobbies: I can recite about 80% of J. Cole lyrics. Also, I’m in the process of inheriting a carnitas recipe from my father-in-law.

If you didn’t work in UO Admissions: If I didn’t work in Admissions, I would have my own Mariscos food truck, where I would sell Mexican seafood.
