Fun Facts

• I fulfilled a dream of studying abroad as an undergraduate in Seoul, South Korea, through the Gilman Scholarship. I learned basic Hangul and can read it as well.
• I love to dance and bring it into my life through cultural performances at International House Davis and by self-learning on YouTube. Lately, I’ve enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful Hawaiian dance, hula.
• I also love animals, and my Maltipoo, Chispita Victoria, fills my days with puppy eyes, kisses and cuddles.
