Fun Fact
I LOVE all things Disney! I’ve been to Disney World, on a Disney Cruise, and I’ve watched almost every single Disney animated film and Disney Channel movie. My favorites are The Lion King and Tangled!
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
There is this Chinese restaurant 10 minutes away from campus called Little Phoenix. It is so good!!! Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!
I chose UMBC because...
the atmosphere is very community-oriented. I went on campus and immediately fell in love. Everyone was so nice and seemed to really care about me and my success in college.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
that there is more to college than just studying and I should allow myself to find opportunities. I used to stay in my room a lot either doing homework or watching Netflix. I wish I had known sooner that I would find my place on campus.
