Why did you join TOT?"I joined ToT because I wanted to build more community and connections with those who want to go into the same field that I intend to post-grad! I like meeting new people and making new friends, and when I saw a good amount of my friends and past coworkers attending meetings for this club I was considering going to, I was like okay let me check it out, and here we are today" Why did you want to become a board member?"I wanted to become a board member because I’ve been wanting to get more involved on campus, and when the opportunity presented itself with this club I enjoyed attending, I decided to try for it. Additionally, I just feel the most complete and satisfied with life when I get to work in a team setting and complete tasks and responsibilities. It gives me something to be focused on and invested in, and I always have liked the ability to show up for a team and be able to put my best work in." Any fun facts you'd like to share about yourself?"Although being a teacher is still on the table for me, my current career plan is to get my masters in school counseling in order to be an academic or pre-college counselor in a high school setting. If I do decide to go down the teacher pathway in the future, my interests are in teaching high school English. As a person, some of my favorite hobbies include baking bread, sewing (I want to start making clothes one day), and playing Overwatch. On campus, my favorite job/extracurricular has definitely been my time as an RA for the high school stem program COSMOS through UCI CFEP! I loved spending time and getting close with my coworkers, and it was a very rewarding and fulfilling experience with the amount of work and effort that everyone put into the program." |
