My advice to prospective students...

is don't feel stuck to one major or minor. It's ok to not know exactly what you want to do but be willing to explore different fields.

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

better study habits as well as trying out new study techniques as soon as I realize that the previous one was not working.

I chose UMBC because...

I heard about UMBC's efforts to help African Americans succeed especially in STEM. I believed that I would be welcomed on campus and I would be encouraged to succeed all while receiving a quality education.

What makes UMBC home?

The relationships that I've made. There is a community for everyone .

I'm passionate about...

My Faith Teaching Children's Sunday School Teaching and mentoring Food! Equality in healthcare

I'm involved with...
