My advice to prospective students...
is it's okay to not know exactly what you want to do in the beginning! That's what college is for! You don't have to come in with a strict plan because it can change based on how you change and grow! Also, don't be afraid to explore any and all interests that you have because college is the perfect time to do so!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Debating America, which was a first-year seminar where we learned about the origins of political ideologies and how they affected American thought and policy. It was very interesting to learn why people believe certain ideologies!
How has UMBC helped you grow?
I have become much better at being more social and being less shy! I have also become a more well-rounded person and student!
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!
