Hello, my name is Natalia Arceo and I am from Fresno, CA. I am currently majoring in Pre-Bio. I enjoy starting new hobbies and learning something new. I also love spending time with my friends and family. What I'm looking forward to coming into UCSB is being able to discover new things, not just about the new environment, but about myself. It'll be the first time I'll be on my own, where I'll learn how to take accountability and be responsible, so that is something that I am looking forward to.
After graduating from UCSB, I want to attend dental school to eventually become an orthodontist. I've always loved the idea of being able to give people a smile they can feel confident about. Further down the line, I want to open my own practice so I can provide dental care at a lower cost, where my skills will be able to reach all kinds of people. What I hope to gain from being part of the Yardi EJ Program is a trusted community that will allow me to grow alongside the people around me. I want to be able to learn new things while also sharing what I know. I will be forever grateful to be part of this program, and I am excited to see where it leads me.
