Coming into Cal, I had a hard time adjusting to college out of high school and had no idea what I wanted to major in. I also didn’t have any TDPS or dance-related classes my first semester, which after fourteen years of ballet training, made me feel out of place without any dancing in my schedule. After my first semester, I began taking classes with the TDPS department, which made me realize how essential dance classes were to my college routine for maintaining my academic and mental state. I am currently pursuing a double major in Dance & Performance Studies and Cognitive Science with a Data Science minor. I mainly focus on improvisation and dancing, and in the future, I would like to research the neuroscience of kinesthetic movement. All of my peers, professors, and mentors in TDPS have been incredibly supportive, and as a creative, they have inspired me to believe that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Feel free to ask me questions about double majoring, program planning, classes, clubs/decals (I’ve done and tried out for Art for Animation, Cal Create, WiCDS, BC@B, and Sigma Psi Zeta), or life! Welcome to Cal, and Go Bears! Remember, you got this!
