"Hello! I am Zilan and I joined PSP in the Spring of my freshman year. I was looking for a diverse community that not only had an emphasis on fellowship, but also academics. After interacting with members, I decided to rush and it is one of the best decisions I have made in college! ​

This is a picture of my roommate and I on our day trip to San Francisco! I love going on spontaneous trips as well as cooking, baking, and trying new dishes. My favorite foods to make are any type of pastries or food that looks aesthetic. When in Davis on Saturday mornings, I can be found going to the Davis Farmers’ Market to buy a croissant, coffee, and some fresh fruits. 
​
Feel free to ask/chat with me about my dogs, tv shows/movies, and cooking or baking in general. "
