Hometown: Duarte, CA

Major: Biology

Minor: Sociology

Fun fact: My name is a star in the Taurus constellation! 

Favorite honors class: US Civil Rights Movements

I am thankful Jason taught this class in the way he did; it broadened my understanding of the Civil Rights Era. It is an important part of our history that oftentimes does not get enough attention. 

Favorite honors experience: Being a part of the WhitTed program allowed me to dive into a topic I found interesting (the social determinants of health) and gave me the platform to share the research with my peers. 

Value of the honors program: The honors program has pushed me to enroll in classes I otherwise would not have tried. It made me try new things that ultimately helped me grow; this is why I would recommend it to incoming students.
