"My Husky Experience so far has been one of many new beginnings. I attended Business Bridge over the summer, and that was hands down the best choice. I was able to meet so many people with fascinating life stories and the opportunity to start our college journeys together. I was able to tap into resources and get a glimpse of college life. Life at the moment has been a time of firsts; First time attending a lecture of 700 people, but also my first time joining a college Fraternity Alpha Delta Phi! The coffee scene here has been such a blessing, as well as the unique shops, and cultures. The diverse communities throughout campus have opened my eyes to new possibilities, and opportunities, and that is the highlight of the Husky Experience. When I first came I was intimidated by the vast amount of people, but as I started to meet new people, and people like me the wide ocean slowly became just a wave and finding community naturally occurred. The staff at the University of Washington wants you to win, and that’s everything."

"Through my experience with a mild traumatic brain injury, I came to understand that difficulties of such an injury came not only from physical symptoms, but also the uncertainty that comes with it. Post-recovery, I found interest in biomedical engineering research, and with unwavering support from my mentors in academics and research, I have discovered a passion for leveraging mechanics to understand brain disease and injury pathology. As I pursue my Ph.D. studies starting this fall, I strive to ground my research from a place of empathy and genuine curiosity to bring about the greatest positive change I can for our communities."
