Class of 2022

Hi Katipunan! While I was mainly active the years before the pandemic, I am forever grateful for my time in it as it impacted my college experience heavily. Most notably, being a part of Tinikling during the Love Lost year and Cabinet 2019-2020 as Public Relations Chairperson. The lessons I learned from both experiences I carry with me today: take a chance on myself and see how far I can go. I had never danced, nor had PR experience, but that is what college is about, trying new things. Since then, that lesson has given me the courage to take on so many new opportunities within college: being a physical therapist intern, joining a sorority (go GPhi!), playing flag football IMs, club volleyball, working multiple different jobs, and deciding to switch career paths away from the healthcare field. All of which I would have never thought of as a timid first year.

Currently, I am working as an administrative assistant under the fundraising team for a non-profit in San Diego where I am able to give back to the homeless community. It has been so fulfilling being able to create change for the city where I have lived in my whole life. While I initially thought that I would be preparing to go to Physician Assistant school in my gap year, I am so relieved I made the decision to switch my path as a fourth year. I am excited to hopefully be attending an MBA program this fall to further cultivate my journey in business. I hope that one day I am able to work in the sports industry as I have always had a passion playing different sports my whole life.
