1. Why did you join ABSA?

I joined ABSA simply put because I was Asian and a Business major, but I stayed because of how much it enabled me to grow professionally as a McCombs student and socially as a person. It showed me how valuable my network truly is, not just as another business student but as a friend, mentor, and human being.

2. What is your favorite ABSA memory?

Definitely Spring EOS just seeing everyone, freshman to senior, taking photos with as many people as possible, in different groups/teams/branches/etc. It was very wholesome to see and it felt unreal watching people were trying to capture some of their last memories with friends before the school year ended.

3. If you could give one piece of advice to your freshman self, what would it be?

Comparison is the thief of joy. It sounds corny, but I wholeheartedly believe that everyone needs to realize we are all on different paths, at different paces, to different locations, so comparing yourself to someone else does no good.

4. What is your favorite food/ favorite place to eat in Austin?

CAPHEINNNN i love their banana matcha soso good.

5. Name the top five things on your bucket list

  1. See the northern lights

  2. Ride a hot air balloon (or maybe just watch them go)

  3. Buy my parents a new house

  4. Skydive through a cloud

  5. Stargaze until the sun rises

6. What fictional character best represents you?

spongebob or aang but maybe i have main character issues
