What makes UMBC home?
The people. Everyone is so genuine, helpful, and wants to see you happy and successful.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has given me the support I needed to recognize my potential and to pursue my dreams with confidence. I've come to realize that what I've wanted to achieve is within reason and that I have the motivation and resources necessary to my success. The sky really is the limit!!
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Atwater's in Catonsvillle!!! It's a cute brunch spot!
My most memorable UMBC experience was...
the Alumni Awards event which takes place during Homecoming. It's only open to students who have received certain scholarships or are involved with the Student Alumni Association (SAA). One of the recipients was the Surgeon General, Jerome Adams and after the ceremony I got to talk with him, meet his daughter, and take a selfie!
