How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped me grow by pushing me to become more responsible and independent. I learned how to manage my time, balance school and life, and ask for help when I need it. The support from professors, advisors, and classmates has helped me become more confident in my abilities.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

My most memorable UMBC experience was Convocation. It was the first time I saw the whole freshman class together, and it made everything feel real. I remember sitting in the Chesapeake arena, hearing the speeches and getting the UMBC pins. Seeing everyone excited for the year made me feel like I was officially part of UMBC.

Fun Fact

A fun fact about me is that I skateboard. If you ever see someone skating around campus between classes, that might be me.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

My favorite class is UNIV 101 with Professor Dale Bittinger. He doesn’t just teach us about college life but actually cares about how we are adjusting. He gives great advice, answers every question, and makes the classroom feel relaxed and welcoming. I always leave feeling like I learned something valuable.
