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

There are going to be semesters that are tougher than others. It's okay to postpone classes that are not serving you at that time. Everyone will have their own journey and you shouldn't compare where you are to others, because you never know where your path could take you.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped me discover my own creative processes by offering me many opportunities, both inside and outside of the university.

I chose UMBC because...

I had many instructors and mentors who went to UMBC, some of whom were also members of the Linehan Scholars Program! I like the size of our campus, its distance from multiple other cities, and above all else: I love my friends, mentors, and the communities I have found here!

Favorite Spot on Campus

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!

I'm passionate about...

Performing Musical Theatre Listening to Music Crafting Crochet watching movies with friends Choreographing

I'm involved with...

Women's Ultimate Frisbee Club
