He/him/his

Class of 2025

Hometown: Great Mills, MD

Major: History


I chose UMBC because...

It is in-state (cheap), I knew I could get in easily and did not want to do other college applications, and I enjoyed the campus.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Favorite class so far was HIST 362: The Medieval Mediterranean with Professor McDonough.

My advice to prospective students...

The classic "don't be afraid to get involved" advice is actually good advice. Go out and find people that like similar things as you and have fun.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

Storing over 30 pumpkins in our lounge Freshman year during Halloween

I'm passionate about...

Reading Nature - Hiking Creative writing Exploring Video Games Drawing Journaling Music Dungeons & Dragons

I'm involved with...
