I'm currently a college student caught in the crossroads of what I want to do, though very recently I've decided to lean in to my passion towards my heritage, planning to shift into AB Chinese Studies in Ateneo de Manila University for the 2025 school year. I also love sports in general as well as socializing especially with people who share my common interest in Lánnang-Uè. I only actually found out about TLA during my 2022-2023 school year as a co-director for academic events in UPCSA through a planned partnership that just so happened to coincide with my term as the VP for Research and Academics the following year. I always had a strange relationship with my heritage, proud of it yet never expressing it confidently until the Lannang Symposium 2024 in which UPCSA was invited to be a sponsor. The entire process of helping plan the event, finding speakers and finally to experience its success made me truly proud to be myself, and so I was more than grateful when the opportunity to be part of this team presented itself.
