Favorite Spot on Campus

Pig Pen Pond or the stretch of grass and trees outside the library.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

There are a lot of great places around, but I love Atwater's. It has a very calming vibe and is a great place to do some work off campus!

My UMBC hack is...

going to the Psychology Building on floor 3 or 4 and doing work! They have desks on those floors, and it is secluded and quiet.

I chose UMBC because...

I was offered a Humanities Scholarship, I liked that it was close to my house but far enough away to feel separate, and I wanted a medium sized school.

I'm passionate about...

environmentalism Story telling Hiking and the Outdoors

I'm involved with...

Environmental Task Force Aikido Humanities Scholars Honors College
