What makes UMBC home?

Everyone I've met on campus. It's a small enough campus that nearly any time I walk anywhere, I run into someone I know, and I really love that.

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 advice to prospective students...

Reach out to people! That goes for people in classes and out of them -- nearly everyone wants to make friends but people who are willing to take the first step are much rarer.

I'm passionate about...
