How has UMBC helped you grow?

In many of my classes, my professors have helped me find confidence to get outside my comfort zone!

My UMBC hack is...

if you want to eat in the University Center for an early lunch, a great time to get in line is between 11:15-11:30, so you skip the main lunch rush!

What makes UMBC home?

The people for sure. I've met so many wonderful people that really embody what it means to be a Retriever!

My advice to prospective students...

is ask about clubs in your fields of interest! You can make so many friends while also pursuing your passions.

I'm passionate about...

Theatre/Acting Singing Spending time with my friends and family Designing and sewing costumes Graphic design is my passion

I'm involved with...
