Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Opie's Ice Cream in Catonsville is always my go-to, they have the best soft-serve!

I chose UMBC because...

the Center for Women in Technology offers such an incredible community, and I'm really excited about all of the research opportunities with professors.

I love the wooden boardwalk that takes you from the edge of the circle to Pig Pen Pond. It's always peaceful and a great place to enjoy the gorgeous plants and the wildlife. One time I even saw a groundhog!
