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!

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.

Favorite Spot on Campus

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

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'm passionate about...

environmentalism Story telling Hiking and the Outdoors

I'm involved with...
