Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Organic Chemistry. Even though it was hard I really felt like I learned a lot. Dr. Gierasch was really engaging and helpful.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

Getting involved on camps with jobs and clubs has helped me to work with so many different people and get to know different perspectives and learn from them.

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 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.

I'm passionate about...
