Major: Chemistry

I chose UMBC because...

I knew UMBC had a good science program, and going into that field I thought I'd be able to learn a lot, but I also like seeing all the concerts and shows the art department puts on on campus too.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

Quadmania. It's the end of year celebration and the Retriever Music Society was performing. We were rehearsing for months to prepare, and all day leading up to the performance. Finally seeing the performance on stage was great and all the work behind it was so worth it.

Favorite Spot on Campus

The outdoor patio near the Chemistry Building. It's a quiet place and I spent a lot of time there the summer after my sophomore year.

My advice to prospective students...

is don't be afraid to talk to professors. I have reached out to several different professors whether it was for class or potential career options.

I'm passionate about...

Chemistry Research Listening to Music Magic Forensic Science

I'm involved with...
