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.
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!
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.
