— ABOUT US —

My name is Ariel and I’m a Computer Science & Design major at UIC! I’m a rising senior who plans to graduate in May 2027. I identify as non-binary and am comfortable with any pronouns, but you can use they/them for convenience. I am also Chinese-Vietnamese American. Some of my hobbies/interests include: art, video games, and occasionally anime/manga. I love drawing so you’ll mainly find me cooped up in my room drawing a bunch. I tend to hyperfixate on things easily, so if you’re willing to lend an ear to whatever I’m currently interested in, we’ll be very fast friends. But it’s absolutely not a requirement to be friends as roommates for me! Just be patient, flexible, and open-minded and we’ll get along just fine.
