I chose UMBC because...

It's close to home, a good distance to stay connected with my family

How has UMBC helped you grow?

Giving me opportunities to voice out my opinions slowly. By sharing my stories, listening to others, and expressing my human self.Through leadership positions like becoming a teaching assistant for first-year students and an academic peer advocate

My advice to prospective students...

Never be afraid to take new opportunities even when it seems scary. During the process remember to trust your strength!
