Top tips for fellow students?

UC a lot easier to navigate than it seems. My biggest tip is to intro yourself to your professors and try to meet them for weekly office hours so you build a connection (they're also more inclined to help you out with assignments, research, or other opportunities)

Best advice you've received that has helped you at UCSB.

Why did you choose to be an EOP peer mentor?

I want to help ease the stress of EOP students. I know how chaotic it can feel when coming from a semester system to a quarter one. I also want them to know they have at least one person advocating for them and wanting them to succeed and have a great time here ◡̈
