- How long you have been working at UCM?
6 months & I am loving every minute of it! - What is your favorite thing about Merced?
I love how everyone at UCM and in Merced is welcoming and friendly! - What is the most important life lesson you learned in college?
The most important lesson I learned in college is that everything won’t always go according to plan and that’s ok. I started college with plans to go to medical school and when I realized it wasn’t a good fit for me, it felt like the end of the world. Looking back now, I’m glad that everything happened the way it did. Without facing those obstacles in college, I wouldn’t have tried different things and discovered what I’m truly passionate about. Take advantage of opportunities to grow personally and professionally and don’t be afraid to make mistakes! - If you could paint a picture of any scenery you’ve seen before, what would you paint?
I would paint the view of the Golden Gate Bridge. - What’s the next thing you’re going to learn about?
There are still so many things I want to learn. For now, I think I’m going to learn how to cook different types of food. - What’s your favorite tv show?
Parks and Recreation
