I chose UC Davis for its prestigious reputation as one of California’s leading universities, known for research, innovation and excellence. The program’s flexibility allows me to balance my journey as a mother with advancing my academic and professional goals.

Its focus on leadership, collaboration and academic excellence aligns with my vision for growth, and I am already seeing positive impact in my career. UC Davis provides an environment that challenges me to grow, encourages innovation and critical thinking, and inspires me through a supportive community. For me, it is a transformative journey that builds confidence and lasting leadership skills.
