My UMBC hack is...
talk to people! The more connections you make the better your UMBC experience will be, from making new friends and memories to getting useful opportunities along your career path!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Dr. Freeland! He's my Individualized Studies (INDS) advisor and is someone who really understands where I want to go and pushes me to get there and beyond, but creatively and in my own way.
Fun Fact
I want to study sharks and they're one of my favorite animals, but if I could be any animal then I'd be an otter!
My advice to prospective students...
is to try new things!! You don't really know if you'll like something until you experience it. Plus it's better to take the risk and maybe find a new passion or meet new friends.
