INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Campus Involvement
UF Sparks Magazine
Prior to joining Sparks Magazine, I didn't interact with other AAPI students much at UF, and often felt disconnected from my culture and identity. Through the GBMs, socials, and PR meetings, I have met and grown close to so many friendly people. Even though it was stressful from time to time, this has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life, so much that I began considering public relations and communications again as a possible path after college. Also, my involvement in Sparks also prompted me to check out other AAPI organizations as well as feel more connected to my culture.
Undergraduate Linguistics Society
In the hopes of meeting other students who were interested in linguistics, I attended the ULS GBMs, and really enjoyed my experience of talking with other linguistics majors, participating in activities like Lingoween, Spanish in Transition, and Linguists against Humanity game night.
Path to Purpose
​Throughout the fall semester, we worked on developing plans for a virtual exchange and mentoring session with a class of South African middle school students that took place in February 2023. As part of the ideation team of the project, I came up with ideas on potential questions to ask about the students' dreams, perception of community, etc. and exercises that would help the process be authentic and personal.
Key Coursework
Language Learning
Spanish
From 0:38 to 1:03, you can hear me narrate the voiceover for a marketing project in my Commercial Spanish class.
This is a graphic for my Spanish Phonology class explaining the basic rules of syllabification (dividing words into syllables) in Spanish.
