Sarah is a second-year student in Seventh College studying Cognitive Science with a Specialization in Design and Interaction. Growing up in Silicon Valley, Sarah has been surrounded by tech companies and the continual rise of entrepreneurial establishments, inspiring her to be driven. Even in such a fast-paced environment, Sarah finds it important to take time to connect back to cultural roots and highly values the strength of family. For over a decade, Sarah took weekly art classes to explore and gain expertise in different art mediums such as watercolor, oil painting, and drawing. She is greatly appreciative of these experiences that have shaped her to become the person she is today.

 

Professionally, Sarah intends to intertwine tech and creativity into her future. She is greatly interested in pursuing a career in UI/UX and Product Design but is also openminded to Web Development. Currently, Sarah is a Web Designer at the UC San Diego Design Lab and Product Design Fellow at Product Space. Sarah would like to study abroad in East Asia (i.e., South Korea or Hong Kong) in college to gain more perspective of the different cultures and seek a diverse academic experience, while also searching for potential work opportunities.

 

In her leisure, Sarah enjoys documenting her food adventures, brushing up her artistic abilities, and taking advantage of her time in San Diego by watching mesmerizing sunsets at the beach. Through Alpha Kappa Psi, Sarah has been able to not only grow professionally and personally but also find a community that has helped her create numerous memories in college. She is grateful for the opportunities that have been presented through the fraternity and is excited for what the future holds.
