How has UMBC helped you grow?

Every faculty member you'll meet, from teachers to advisors, really cares about your success, academically and personally. I've met a lot of people who have encouraged and helped me to do things I wouldn't have thought I was ready for.

Fun Fact

I'm a natural brunette. Also, I won a Nintendo Switch from a UMBC bingo night.

Favorite Spot on Campus

The dock is a really nice place to relax -- it's serene and somewhere you can go to get away from it all for a little.

I chose UMBC because...

it has a 5-year masters program that I was interested in, and the Honors College seemed really cool.

I'm passionate about...

playing the guitar
