Nayuka

Biological & Psychological Sciences · UC Irvine · Class of 2028

Nayuka got into UC Irvine on a record built out of real hours: Senior Class President, National Honor Society, an Occupational Therapy internship at North County OT, and 100+ hours as an inpatient hospital volunteer — plus a full college transfer certification (IGETC) earned alongside her high school diploma through Middle College. She is now double-majoring in Biological and Psychological Sciences on the pre-health track. As the first in her family to go through US admissions, she learned this process from the inside out, and she is especially strong with first-gen students who need someone to explain what nobody else will.
