I am a second year from San Francisco, California (although I grew up in Pamplona, in northern Spain). I am on the Mock Trial team, a singer in Motet Choir, a writer for the Undergraduate Law Magazine, and the founder of the UChicago Organization of LGBTQ+ Students. My favorite book is Jandy Nelson's I'll Give You the Sun, and my favorite song is currently Fitzpleasure by alt-J. In my down time, I love to cook and explore Chicago's food scene! Hit me up with food recs, music recs, and for advice about starting RSOs!

First Year 

Economics/Public Policy/Psychology

Hello everybody! I am from Canada, and aside from Peer Advising, I am on Undergraduate Student Government as a representative for the Class of 2026, serve on House Council, am involved with MUN as part of the team as well as the organizing committee, am on the fencing team, and host a podcast at the Maroon called The Gordian Knot where we ask international students to bring a first-hand perspective into the news, culture, and politics of their homes. My favourite movie is Everything Everywhere All at Once - not only was the representation excellent, but I thought the humour and hectic style really matches me. Not sure what else to say in this bio, but I'm happy to talk anytime!

Third Year 

Religious Studies and Fundamentals

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in the suburbs until age 14, when I moved to Beijing, which is in China. Fun fact: Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson and Beijing Capital were for many years the busiest airports in the world, before the pandemic. In college, my only extracurricular is Undergraduate Student Government. It may or may not be my favorite movie, but I think the most perfect movie ever made is The Social Network (2010). Likewise, Tim Mcgraw, the first track on Taylor Swift's first album, is a perfect song. I can confidently say it is superior to the rest of her body of work.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

If a woodchuck had the self awareness to reflect and plan upon the amount of wood they may or may not be willing to chuck, they would become conscious of the devasting enviromental effects of deforestation and adopt a moralistic opposition to chucking.

Fourth Year 

Major in Economics, Minor in History

I was born and raised in Hong Kong, lived in England for 2 years when I was 16, and here I am in Chicago now! Sports has always been my passion, and there's no better thing than to be president of the Golf club now! I'm also VP Finance in Scholars of Finance. I love Parasite, and honestly I don't think there's much of an argument here - the 4 Oscars, the visuals, the plot, all the emotions - nothing quite beats this. Just to end it on a little fun fact - I have a double eyelid on my left eye and a monolid on my right!
