My most memorable UMBC experience was...

being in my apartment, with my roommates, watching the UMBC vs. UVA basketball game, and then seeing the campus erupting into cheer after the win.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

how easy it was to make friends by just getting out of your room and doing what you like.

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 Local Shop or Restaurant

Chef Paolino. It's an Italian restaurant about five minutes from campus. They have the best cannolis.
