Major: Financial Economics

Concentration: Accounting


I chose UMBC because...

the close knit community was fitting for my education and social life

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

American Studies with Kathy Brian. She is extremely kind and educated. She created a safe space in her class where students can share any opinion, question, or concern. My favorite part of her class was the books we got to read because it truly opened my eyes to social injustices in the U.S.

My advice to prospective students...

is to be open to all opportunities offered on campus and step out of your comfort zone!

My UMBC hack is...

wait out the lunch and dinner rush because the lines die down in under 25 minutes, so just be patient.

I'm passionate about...
