Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Atwater's in Catonsvillle!!! It's a cute brunch spot!
Favorite Spot on Campus
The Commons in the morning is surprisingly quiet and peaceful and it's one of my favorite spots to study before it gets busier during lunch.
I chose UMBC because...
of our strong reputation as a STEM and research university. When I was looking for schools, I knew I wanted to either do research or become a doctor and a school with a reputation like UMBC's was a natural choice. Also, I'm a middle child and my parents liked the cost after in-state tuition since they have two other out of state tuitions to pay.
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!
