How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has challenged me academically. While taking diffucult classes, UMBC has provided me (and all students) tutoring resources in order to succeed. I am not afraid to admit that I need help because I know that there are resources and people willing to help me.

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.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

meeting my suite-mates on move-in day during my freshman year and establishing a close friendship with them. Also reconnecting with an old friend from middle school and rekindling our friendship

Favorite Spot on Campus

Sportszone in The Commons. It can be a very busy area (especially during lunch time) but towards the evening, it becomes a great place to do work, hang out with friends and participate in on-campus programs that the Student Events Board (also known as SEB) host.

I'm passionate about...

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

I'm involved with...

Pre-Medical Society Africana council
