Fun Fact
I'm a natural brunette. Also, I won a Nintendo Switch from a UMBC bingo night.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
that basically any issue you have, academically or otherwise, you can find someone on campus whose job it is to help you. The Career Center is really useful for resume workshopping, for instance, and you can go without an appointment.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Debating America with Professor Jeremy Spahr. It's a first-year seminar that was my first ever in-person class. I learned a lot about contemporary issues, and having discussions about them was really fun.
