Fun Fact
My house was haunted growing up! It still is... Very spooky!
How has UMBC helped you grow?
Here at UMBC, I have had the chance to interact with people of various backgrounds and make so many new connections that I treasure deeply. As I learn more through my classes and those around me, I continue to grow and change for the better.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
The Taste Tea right across Oca Mocha! Such a great spot with loads of options. Highly recommend it!
My advice to prospective students...
Put yourself out there! In my first semester, I kept to myself to the point where it was a little isolating. Do not be afraid to meet new people and get to know your professors!
