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.

My UMBC hack is...

starting work ahead of time if necessary, so I can always get eight hours of sleep a 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.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

The bonfire. It didn't seem like it was going to be much of anything, until it was -- it was a really pretty fire, and it was nice to be around everyone who was out for it.

I'm passionate about...

playing the guitar

I'm involved with...
