Luisa Garate
Hello everyone. My name is Luisa Garate and I am a 3rd year here at UC Merced. I am originally from Los Angeles, California specifically from the Boyle Heights/ East Los Angeles area. During my free time, I enjoy working out, watching YouTube videos, and spending with my family and friends. A fun fact about myself is that I was able to study abroad in Vietnam when I was in high school. After college, I plan to work, apply to graduate school, and possibly pursue an MBA. I am excited to get to know you all this upcoming school year at UC Merced.

Hello there, my name is Johnny Ly, and I am a third-year student majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. I am from Long Beach, California, and this will be my first year working as an Academic Scholar for the Fiat Lux Program. In my free time, I enjoy watching all sorts of anime, reading manga, and playing video games. I also enjoy photography as a side hobby, traveling whenever I have the chance to do so, as well as building custom mechanical keyboards.
