Year: 3rd Year
Major: Business Administration Minor: Informatics and Information & Computer Science Hometown: San Jose, CA Industry(s) of Interest: Product Management Professional Experience
Why MAISS: It’s a welcoming community that provides tons of opportunities for professional development. MAISS was especially useful to me because, as a business major, I knew I wanted to have some type of background in tech, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it. MAISS is tailored to meet the needs of business students and tech students as well as a place to find mentorship and friends! :) Fun Facts: I was voted most likely to go to Hogwarts in middle school. My ears are so big that I can’t wear Airpods without them falling out. |
Year: 3rd Year
Major: Computer Science Hometown: Cupertino, CA Industry(s) of Interest: Software Engineering Professional Experience
Why MAISS: I wanted to find a group of people interested in more than just technology at UCI. I found that MAISS created a more connected, social community than that of other clubs which I enjoyed being a part of! I had a lot of fun at MAISS's Fall Retreat, as well as during my time as a Winter Intern. Additionally, MAISS has connections with other ICS clubs as well as business-minded organizations. It's an amazing way to meet new people! Fun Facts: I can't live without peanut butter I want to study abroad in South Korea or Germany |
Year: 3rd Year
Major: Business Economics Hometown: Hayward, CA Industry(s) of Interest: Accounting, Risk Consulting, Fintech Professional Experience
Why MAISS: After switching majors the beginning of my second year, I decided to join MAISS to try to expose myself to more people with similar interests and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made at UCI. I got to meet so many passionate and driven individuals and they all motivate me to be better everyday. Because of MAISS, I was able to meet my wonderful mentor and he guided me to explore different career paths and always pushed me to try out new things. MAISS has provided me with a family that I can always fall back on whenever I needed help, and I want to give back by working hard this year to provide new members with insightful events and long lasting friendships. I hope to see you there! Fun Facts: I'm left handed My middle name is Chad I don't like the Warriors even though I'm from the Bay (Go Rockets!) |
Year: 3rd Year
Major: Computer Science Hometown: Saratoga, CA Industry(s) of Interest: Software Engineering Professional Experience
Why MAISS: I wanted to join because I liked how MAISS combined both business and tech. During winter 2019 I was a community development intern, and I wanted to continue being involved in the club. From this experience, I was lucky enough to be able to make great friends and mentors. Fun Facts: I luv country music yeehaw xD Trader Joes is basically an amusement park to me |

The community here not only encourages growth but facilitates it in a myriad of opportunities! Fun Facts: Step 1, Milk. Step 2, Cereal ramen and boba |

Year: 3rd Year
Major: Quantitative Economics Hometown: Sacramento, CA Industry(s) of Interest: Data Analytics Professional Experience
I started taking a lot of steps towards pushing myself forward into more spaces to prepare myself for the future as well as to meet others who could help me grow. I found MAISS through connections I had made when I got involved in the business community and saw it as an opportunity to give back to the community by helping guide the next generation of people who were in my shoes a year ago. Fun Facts: I am a Legend Hearthstone player c: My favorite animals are axolotls |
