What makes UMBC home?

My friends! Not only does UMBC have a welcoming environment, I have made amazing best friends and acquaintances who make UMBC feel safe and feel like home.

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.

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.

I'm passionate about...

environmentalism Story telling Hiking and the Outdoors

I'm involved with...
