Goals and interests

Career goal

My career goal is to work in management at a technology firm. I would also be honored to serve my country as a civil servant.

Graduate school interests

Upon completion of my bachelor's degree in mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I plan to transfer to the University of California at Berkeley to pursue my master's degree.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include computer programming, playing guitar, long distance running, arithmetic puzzles, reading, and watching movies. I also value the time I am able to spend with my family. I share a close bond with my siblings and cousins. My sister and I share a love of cinema while my brother and I enjoy playing guitar together. I am a role model for my younger cousin who now aspires to study math and science like me.
