What are some of your hobbies?
My hobbies are experimenting with new dishes in the kitchen and trying new things.
What do you like to do with your free time?
In my free time, I spend it in Lake Balboa enjoying quality time with my family, since I don’t see them often after moving away for school. The remaining time I spend with my lovely boyfriend of ten months and counting. We enjoy sightseeing and also going on outdoor adventures.
What is one thing on your bucket list?
One thing on my bucket list is to travel the world and see what is has to offer, and possibly visit Cairo, Egypt where my boyfriend is originally from. The pictures he had showed me of Cairo are extremely beautiful.Â
What’s your favorite movie?
My favorite movie is “A Walk to Remember”, it shows us that we should never take life for granted. My favorite scene is the part where he realizes that he has fallen in love with a girl that has leukemia and her days are numbered.
Describe your personal style:
Since I worked at Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch for two years and had to wear their clothing as a uniform. I ended up buying a lot of clothing from them and now 85% of my closet are items from both stores. The other 15% are my formal clothes which I wear for special events or formal occasions.
What’s one of your memorable moments at UCR?
My most memorable moment at UCR would be probably living at the dorms. There were a lot of interesting things happened and it was a unique way to start my college experience.
If you were stuck on an island and were only allowed 3 items what would they be?
1. Unlimited supply of water and food!
2. A partner/boyfriend/husband
3. Materials to build a home!
These will be the three things I will only need if I was ever stuck on an island. I won’t strave, I won’t be alone, and I will have a roof if the weather gets bad.
What’s one face about yourself that others might not expect?
Everyone has trouble guessing my race; they always think I am African American. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that. Everyone is always so shocked when I speak Spanish and they figure out that I am full Salvadoran.
Do you have any plans after graduation?
My plans after graduation are to get into med school and then after my residency become an obstetrician.
