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

how to use my time and resources better. I lacked a sense of balance to match my sense of purpose and I think I could have been a little more successful, but each semester I get better at it!

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 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!

What makes UMBC home?

The people. Everyone is so genuine, helpful, and wants to see you happy and successful.
