Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
I absolutely loved my Jan term class, Asian American Voices in Public History. I loved exploring all over the Bay Area going to places like Angel Island and the Oakland Museum while learning about Asian-American history. It was so much fun getting to work with community partners at the Chinese Historical Society of America and eating delicious foods with my friends and classmates.
My Next Chapter
I will be attending USC for a Master's in Business Taxation with an emphasis in Data and Analytics in the Fall.

My greatest supporters throughout college would have to be my family, but most importantly my sister Bella. She answered every stressed out phone call whether I was happy, in tears, or angry. She is constantly there for me, and I hope to provide that same support as she begins her journey through college.
