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 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.

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

how easy it is to talk to professors. My first semester is the only semester that I didn't talk to at least one of my professors on a regular basis

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...
