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

to be involved in more of the fun campus events UMBC provides, such as comedy shows and karaoke nights.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Halal Shack in the Commons

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

having a cookout with my friends at nighttime. There are grills and a volleyball court behind the Chesapeake dorm and all of my friends gathered there one night to grill hotdogs and hamburgers, play frisbee and volleyball, and enjoy each other's company.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I have taken on more leadership roles to improve my interpersonal skills and from UMBC I have gained the resources, confidence, and time-management skills to work towards my goals and prioritize my values.
