What has UCLA meant to me?
“The education I received at UCLA gave me the courage to take risks in my continual pursuit to evolve. It gave me the confidence to know that I would always be able to learn from failures and adapt to challenges. Those skills have helped me forge new paths throughout my career in an industry that is ever changing. I will always be grateful for the foundation UCLA provided enabling me to have the most rewarding career I could have ever imagined.”
