I'm from Clearlake, California. I like walking, hiking, baking, trying new foods, and solving puzzles. I have an older brother who goes to UC Merced. My major is Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and my goal is to become a Pharmacist. Yuting Han:
My major is computer science. To me, computer science is not only a subject that develops my ability to think analytically; it is also a philosophy that permeates all aspects of my life. I enjoy sitting in front my computer, typing and coding, listening to the sound of my keyboard as I perfect the program I'm developing. I hope I can do the research systematically, improve my knowledge and benefit my study in computer science field study.

Edwin Nguyen:
My major is pharmaceutical chemistry. Throughout high school my favorite subject turned out to be chemistry. It was something that interested me compared to my other classes. I’m also interested in medicine and how it affects the body. Therefore I would like to do some research on drugs and what it can do to a person. However anything else related to science would be something I would be interested in. Mai Tram Nguyen:

My major is Computer Science. I always liked electronics and was specifically interested in the programming aspect. During my Senior year at Richmond High School I joined the robotics team, Team 841. I became a programmer for the team and from then on I knew that programming is what I wanted to do. My future aspirations are to own a business.I really don't know what I want to research yet, however I hope it complements the skills that I gain through my major. I just really want to learn and be involved in something that interest me.

As someone who loves to learn, computer science fascinated me in that there is always something new to learn or create. I became interested in computer science around my sophomore year in high school and was astounded by how versatile the field is. Since then, it has become my goal to combine other interests of mine, such as languages and philosophy, with computer science and expand my creative thinking to the fullest. I am even considering pursuing a career in artificial intelligence. The field plays such an integral part of everyday life as everything nowadays revolves around technology and the potential it has to make the world better. With this in mind, I aim to learn as much as I can to someday push the world forward in a positive, sustainable direction. Yesenia Gutierrez I am a pharmaceutical chemistry major and hope to conduct research with a focus on accessible and affordable medication during my undergraduate education. Research concerning medicine and pharmaceuticals is very appealing to me because those fields directly affect every individual. After undergrad I plan to attend pharmacy school.
