“I was on my way home after my first day of finals. My mom and brother wanted to get hot chocolate because it was cold outside, and I was super nervous. All of a sudden, I got the email that my decision was ready, so we rushed to my house, and we freaked out in my mom's car.”

In the award-winning movie of your life, who would play you and why?

“Stephanie Hsu. She played Joy in Everything Everywhere All at Once, and she genuinely portrays the Asian American struggle of polarizing cultures so well. She was a queer young woman with a lack of communication with her parents due to cultural and language barriers. It was magnificent, and her role embodied me perfectly.”

What were you doing when you found out you got into NYU? What were you feeling?

“I was just in my room for a month as the first wave of Covid-19 had hit. Frankly, I just remember feeling relief amongst all the chaos in the world at the time. Excited, scared, and confused.”

What are you most excited for about APUG & NYU?

“I’m so excited to meet my peers the most! Having a sort of connection with others is very precious to me, and I hope I can talk and find a community within APUG! I just transferred from Liberal Studies, so it’ll be much more engaging to be in a more concentrated field.”
