Best experience at UC Merced: I have had way to many awesome experiences...but I think that being able to graduate last semester but not choosing to do so just so I could take an extra semester of art classes has made my senior year amazing.

Worst experience at UC Merced: I don't really have a bad experience to speak of but I definitely have a most embarrassing moment and that was at my last dance show. I had a samba/salsa routine so I was wearing a short dress (with shorts under) and when I did a kick over my partner's head I flashed the audience and I heard the ENTIRE audience gasp. No one had realized that those undies that they thought they saw were my black dance shorts, and I was soooo embarrassed. I sucked it up though and finished my entire routine :)

Favorite things to do off-campus: Watching movies, going to San Francisco for the weekend, playing video games occasionally, taking pictures and going shopping of course.

In five year's, I'd like to be... Working for a network that does educational programming and finishing up my PhD.

Words of wisdom: BALANCE is key to surviving college. Don't get distracted by parties, overwhelmed by your job or stressed over schoolwork. If you make time for each one and get things done you can enjoy everything on and off campus.

My legacy at UC Merced: Dance Coalition (D-Co), Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) and the e-student ambassador position. I was one of the first members of D-Co and one of the first sisters of KKG. Lastly I'm one of the first students employed as an e-student ambassador, a position made especially for students to make videos about UCM that show the true colors of our campus: Youtube.com/GoldenBobcatTV
