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.

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.

What makes UMBC home?

The people. I have made most of my closest friends on campus.

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.
