I am a biochemistry major here at LMU. In high school I was offered a full ride scholarship for basketball but choose to attend LMU instead; that was the best choice for me. With the encouragement of my mother and younger sister I have worked hard to become everything that a LION embodies. During my year at LMU I have had the opportunity to work for FYE and theStudent Affairs' Dean. Activities that I have participated in while on campus are LEAP and BSU. I have grown to love LMU.

I am a natural science major with an emphasis in physical therapy. I am intrigued by sports and working out which lead me down this path. I have been a certified personal trainer for two years and worked at the Burns Recreation Center which led me to my current position as a fitness and wellness manager at the gym now. I am a very passionate person and am dedicated to every task in which I engage myself. I also love to snowboard, golf, and do any outdoor activities. I am so happy to have the opportunity to be an O'leader this year and hope I can have an impact on the new freshman as much as the orientation leaders did for me my freshman year. I am so excited to be apart of the orientation leader team and share this experience with so many wonderful people.

First of all, WELCOME TO THE LMU FAMILY!! These past three years have held nothing, but good memories and laughter! As a senior Biology major, I am involved in two dance groups, Radix and Harmony Unison of Beats. I also served as a special projects coordinator for Asian Pacific Student Services and am an active member in Nikkei Student Union. My other passion is for service which I do through an all women's service organization, Gryphon Circle. On my spare time I love to read, play tennis, and go on crepe/boba/pinkberry runs! With that, I leave you with my favorite phrase, "GO LIONS!!!!"

I grew up in the Los Angeles area all my life, I love basketball and soccer and being active. I love all types of music and open to try many new things.

Interesting fact about me is I coach a 4th grade basketball team that has been champions twice...basically they rock the court.

I'm a 20 year old fun-loving Natural Science major! I enjoy exciting events with my Delta Zeta sisters, as well as service with Belles Service Organization! When I want to relax from a busy schedule, I like a good massage or shoe shopping - either will do! I love LMU and all it has to offer. GO LIONS!

Hello newcomers, and welcome to LMU! You will soon find out why I left the east coast for a small taste of paradise. Some of you may get to know me well, some may not, but either way I think you will come to love LMU just as much as I do. And if any of you yearn to play or watch a contact sport at your new school, just listen for the sound of a thundering herd...

I'm a Natural Science major, with a Business minor. I am obsessed with TV, and movies. I am indifferent about music, so as long as it sounds good then I'll probably like it. Wake-boarding, water skiing and tubing are awesome. I'm just ready to have fun this summer spending time and helping out all of the incoming First Years.
