Hi, my name is Rory! I'm starting full-time at Berkeley City College in the fall of 2026 and am excited to study biology. I absolutely love going on hikes and getting worked up about all the beautiful plants and insects around me. I deeply care for the natural environment and hope to make a positive impact by going into Plant Sciences and Entomology at UC Davis once I get my GE requirements out of the way. Outside of academics, I find comfort in staying physically active, knitting, and spending time with my family and pets.
