Hi there! My name is Yomna Elkereamy, I am a fourth-year Biology major. This is my third year serving as an Honors Ambassador and my first as Co-Chief Ambassador! During my four years at UCR, I had the chance to join a Chemistry research lab, kick-start my capstone research project, and work in a Microbiology & Plant Pathology lab as a Lab Assistant. These opportunities have been incredibly enriching as I have been able to meet and work with many wonderful people! I am currently looking to attend dental school in the future. But outside of all the academics, I love spending time giving back to my community by participating in educational outreach events and volunteering at the Free Clinic! In my free time, I am typically either reading a book, learning a new recipe, or roaming around beach cities! I look forward to meeting you!

Hello there! My name is Marina and I am very happy to have joined the Honors program for my second year now. I am interested in attending medical school and serving the Inland Empire’s deserving population. My favorite thing to do is work with kids, whether it’s in the healthcare setting, arts and crafts, or in the educational setting. This is why I am striving to be a pediatric internal medicine physician, preferably specializing in rheumatology. I also love spending time outside of school with my siblings doing anything and everything! From watching Marvel movies to cooking together to exploring obscure Greek myths, my siblings and I do it all! Our favorite collective hobby is to drive our parents nuts! We love going out to parks and playing outdoor games as a family!

Hello! My name is Bhavya Gulati (she/her/hers) and I'm currently a third-year business administration major trying to concentrate in marketing. I joined the Honors program in my second year to create lasting relationships with my peers and faculty members, and to have the opportunity to do my own research and projects. I aspire to work internationally as I love to travel and appreciate the diversity this world has to offer. Some things I do in my free time are binging Netflix shows with my cat, watching the sunset on campus, and most of all, spending time with my friends and loved ones. Please feel free to reach out about any questions you might have, or even to just talk. :)

Hi there! I am a third year Honors student majoring in Political Science and History. I am a first generation Latina, who hopes to pursue a J.D. or Ph.D. in History. I wish to travel the world someday and possibly complete an International Studies graduate program abroad. The manner in which the past becomes the present, thus influencing our future fascinates me--which is why I chose to double major and combine my two passions. As a commuter, it is often difficult to find a safe space on such a diverse campus, yet Honors has offered an inclusivity that I wish to provide to all first year students. My interests range from art to poetry, although I do enjoy discovering fun and new places to dine or simply explore. I am not much of an introvert, so I will always be ready to greet you with a smile on my face!

Hi! My name is Harleen Judge and I am a third-year Neuroscience major. My future goals include pursuing medical school and becoming a physician to fulfill my passion for providing care to those in need and educating communities on healthcare needs.

Hi, my name is Janet Maringka, and I'm a third-year double-major in economics/administrative studies and political science/international affairs! After college, I plan on possibly taking a gap-year to gain work experience and learn another language abroad before starting graduate school. As a University Honors Ambassador, I hope to pass on knowledge I have gained about UCR and University Honors to fellow University Honors students. I was also originally a microbiology major, so, if anyone needs help transitioning majors, I would be happy to help advise you. Fun Fact: I studied abroad in Taiwan last summer before the whole pandemic. Feel free to ask me about my experience (and all the milk tea I got to try)! I look forward to meeting all of you!

Hi! My name is Isabel Meza (she/her/hers) and I am currently a third-year psychology major. I am interested in studying the biology of the brain, as well as all aspects of mental health and wellness! My plan after graduation is to pursue a career in medicine and work with those in my community to educate and provide mental health resources to underserved populations. This is my third year in the honors program, but my first year as a University Honors Ambassador! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, going out with friends/family, playing guitar, and spending time outdoors.

Hello! My name is Breeann Novasel, and I am currently a fourth-year microbiology major planning to minor in statistics. I have been with University Honors since my first year at UCR, and I am glad that I get to share my experiences in the program. Being a University Honors student has allowed me to meet students from all backgrounds, while also connecting with faculty members. After finishing my degree, I plan on pursuing PA or nursing school, though much can change career-wise between now and then. During my free-time, I enjoy listening to music, spending time with my friends, and watching Netflix. This year, I had the opportunity to work at Tanaka Farms in Irvine as a tour guide, where I practiced problem-solving and communication skills. I look forward to working with all of you and I hope that you will all enjoy your time in UCR Honors!

Hi! My name is Rachel Salim, and I am a fourth-year biology major. I plan on continuing my journey as a premedical student by attending medical school in the future, in pursuit of serving the underserved community with knowledge, capabilities, and compassion of a physician. In my free time, I enjoy traveling anywhere I can (especially the beach) with my friends and trying new and exciting activities and cuisine, as well as binge-watching the next movie or T.V. show on Netflix. I also love learning and trying out new ways to improve myself, whether it's in health and fitness, business and budgeting, or spiritual guidance. As a University Honors Ambassador, I hope to be of assistance in helping you pave your own path here at UCR, while sharing my own personal experiences and tips. I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Hi! My name is Chhavi Shukla (she/her/hers) and I am a third-year psychology major on the pre-medicine track. This is my second year in University Honors, and it has been extremely gratifying and enriching thus far. University Honors has made me so many of my close friends, and allowed me the stepping stones to chase my ambitions! My career goals include attending medical school, with my interest stemming from the drive to serve communities that are specifically lacking in acute healthcare. In my free time, I spend time with my friends and listen to a lot of music! I am beyond excited to continue working with University Honors and collaborating with new people!

Hi! My name is Hugo Wu, a senior majoring in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology and pursuing a minor in Neuroscience. I currently volunteer in the hospital as a Health Scholar and have been practicing the scientific method and honing my laboratory, time management, problem solving, and critical thinking skills in the Dr. Van Norman lab since freshman summer.

Alex hails from a quiet neighborhood in southern California called Chino Hills. Though lazy at times, Alex is greatly interested in running, tennis, and casual hiking. During his hikes, Alex loves to intrigue himself with insects and rock formations, where Alex's love for biological processes and beautiful sceneries satisfies his attentiveness to the natural world. Alex hopes to achieve his goal of earning a medical degree through the help of his friends and those who he shall meet. As long as Alex is not too distracted by his favorite game "War Thunder," Alex has great hopes for the future. I hope to meet you soon! Best wishes-from Alex.
