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.
What makes UMBC home?
The feeling of community. There's something for everyone at UMBC, no matter what your hobbies, passions, or interests are.
My UMBC hack is...
utilizing the sky bridges on campus when it's really cold, hot, or especially when it's raining. They connect a lot of the buildings on the main level of Academic Row and provide an easy way to stay out of the elements when walking to and from class.
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.
