Fun Fact
I was so close to testing for the 5th Kyu belt in Aikido, but COVID derailed those plans. I hope to test for the belt this coming spring!
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to take at least 15 credits! I only took 12 which counts as full-time, but in order to graduate in 4 years, you should take an average of 15 credits each semester.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has helped me develop my professional skills by allowing me to work in the admissions office. My professors have also helped me find my own voice and encouraged me to think critically in many aspects of my life.
Favorite Spot on Campus
Pig Pen Pond or the stretch of grass and trees outside the library.
