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.

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.

My advice to prospective students...

is to join the extracurricular activities offered by UMBC. You will make so many great friends to support you and do fun activities with. Clubs, research, and leadership positions also look great on a resume if you want to apply for internships early on in college.

I'm passionate about...

Cell Biology genetics Disease Research Academic Excellence Community Service Exercise Tennis Badminton Singing/Music Reading
