April Yang MSBA 25

The UC Davis MSBA program's great location in San Francisco was a major factor in my decision—I’ve always wanted to live in California and experience life in a big city. Additionally, I chose the program because of the strong job opportunities; I’ve heard many positive things about UC Davis MSBA students successfully landing jobs after graduation.

Fun Facts

  • My luckiest day was when I was at Lana Del Rey's concert, and the next day I bumped into her at a cafe.
  • I learned the American culture by watching sitcoms and comedy TV shows. I can basically recite lines from "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation."
  • I enjoy piercing, although my parents strongly disagree. To reach a compromise, I removed my mouth piercing but kept the ones in my nose, belly, and ears.
