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.

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.

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.

I'm passionate about...
