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.

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.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

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

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!
