Favorite Spot on Campus

Fireside Lounge. It's on the third floor of The Commons and has some very cozy chairs while encouraging a quiet studying environment.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

It's definitely broken me out of my introverted shell but in a comfortable way. I've been able to partake in some great opportunities, such as being a Resident Assistant and being in the Cyber Dawgs club. It's enabled me to sharpen my skills in my field and meet a lot of people along the way.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Mrs. Bonny Tighe. She's a smart and kind. When you talk to her on a personal level, she feels like a grandmother to students.
