What is your favorite thing to do on campus?

My favorite thing to do is to attend Pacific events. For example, the annual event organized by Kilusan is called PCN, or Pilipino Cultural Night. PCN is a student-led production of acting, cultural dancing, singing and more. The Pacific community has a variety of athletic events, Homecoming and more. There are always fun opportunities to show Pacific Pride!

What is your favorite place to go to Stockton?

Lincoln Center has all my go-to spots. There are many places to eat, relax and shop. Whether it is Orange Theory Fitness for a fun workout, or a grocery run at Trader Joe's, Lincoln Center has something for everyone! There are fun events such as Music on the Brick walk, the semiannual Sidewalk Sale, and even fun seasonal backdrops for perfect photo opportunities for all friends and family.

What is your favorite movie and why?

"Blue Bayou" is a must-watch film that definitely needs a box of tissues prepped by your side! I was able to watch this film because Pacific held an AAPI Heritage Film Festival at the Janet Leigh Theatre in April 2022. This film is important to our history, growth and gratitude. After watching this film, I hope people are motivated to be more educated about our society and to strive for improvement for a better future. Let me know your thoughts if you decide to watch it or if you have watched it!
