UMBC has helped me discover my own processes and preferences by offering me many opportunities, both inside and outside of my departments.
One of my most memorable experiences here was getting to meet and perform for Misty Copeland! It was such a special and rare opportunity and I will always be grateful for it!
I would advise new students to be open to trying new things, but don't take on too much! It can be very tempting to say yes to every activity or event that comes your way, but your first priority should be taking care of yourself.
My favorite spot on campus would have to be the PAHB. You can feel the passion in that building, and it always gets me excited about getting to perform and create for my career!
