In what ways has your UC Davis experience prepared you for the next steps of your life/journey?

"The open yet responsible environment at UC Davis helped me discover strengths and skills I never knew I had. As I move forward into my next chapter, I hope to carry these lessons with me and continue growing with courage."

What positive message would you like to share with your fellow graduates?

“Spending four years at UC Davis without my family nearby, and studying abroad for the first time, was not easy. There were countless moments when I felt scared and uncertain. But those experiences shaped me into someone who can take chances, jump into new opportunities, and create unforgettable memories such as switching my path from pre-vet to finance, to joining venture capital, startups, and beyond.

I hope this message resonates with the Class of 2026, and I am so excited to see how each of us will bring our own strength, courage, and choices into the future. ”
