**Why did you choose your major or program? **

Because I love technology!

**What is a fun fact about you that few people know?**

I like to make people laugh.

**What is your favorite song and why?**

Feeling Good by Nina Simone. I like this song because it says that I am feeling good, no matter what, we always have to be thankful for the so much that life gives us.

I like to go jogging.

**How have your identities (race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender) affected your college experience?**

There is a lack of resources for people like me being of color and gay.

**How do you practice self-care?**

I try to eat healthy, sleep well, and do daily exercise, so I feel good mentally to do all the homework and other daily duties.

**How are you adjusting to the "new normal" as we're emerging from this pandemic? Do you have any tips for other students who are going back to college this semester?**

Keep maintaining social distance and healthy measures to avoid the spread of COVID.

**As a Point BIPOC Scholar, what is your message to other LGBTQ+ students of color?**

No matter what, never give up on your dreams.
