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.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Atwater's in Catonsvillle!!! It's a cute brunch spot!

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.

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!
