Alumni Spotlight: Christine Choi

Christine Choi, B.A. Asian American Studies, 2020
Meet alum Christine! She graduated in 2020 with her Bachelor of Arts in Asian American Studies with Minors in Educational Studies and Applied Psychology. You can find Christine on campus at the Asian Resource Center as one of the counselors for EOP!
Describe a day in your current position.
Half of my time I serve as a Counselor within EOP so in my day-to-day I meet with students in advising appointments concerning academics, personal, financial, and post-graduation/graduate school questions. I also spend time meeting with my colleagues in counselor or all-staff meetings, in our committee meetings, and 1:1s with my supervisor.
The other half of my position is as the Coordinator of the Asian Resource Center on-campus. I spend time with my wonderful Peer Advisors of the ARC in team meetings and 1:1s, planning and executing events for the center like Lunar New Year, APIDA Graduation, Study Jams, and collaborations with other departments. I also serve as a counselor and resource to all APIDA identified students.
Describe your most valuable college experience that has helped you in your career.
My experience as a Resident Assistant in Santa Cruz for two years and as a Campus Tour Guide in the Office of Admissions helped me gain the proper understanding of the functional areas and gain skills such as: conflict resolution, community building, public speaking, and marketing! Another opportunity that was extremely valuable specifically to my field was being a NUFP Mentee. Through this program as a first-gen student, I was paired with a mentor in the field of Student Affairs as well as given the opportunity to attend the NASPA Regional Conference where I've made even more connections with future colleagues and mentors. My mentor from NUFP continues to be such an amazing resource, friend, and support system (shout out to the amazing AVC Dr. Lupe Navarro Garcia <3)
What advice do you have for current students?
Utilize all the amazing resources that UCSB offers you. Schedule advising appointments, utilize the Career Services office and take different assessments or workshops, study abroad if you're able, apply for that campus leadership position. UCSB is such a unique place and I have it to thank for all of my current success in my field because of the resources that UCSB offers students. Don't be afraid to take a course or pursue a major that doesn't have a "traditional" career path attached to it. Majoring in Asian American Studies was the greatest decision I made in college and I still call it a home on campus with the most amazing faculty and staff supporting it, as well as all of the lifelong friends I made through the department.
