During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

to go to Involvement Fest. It is such a great way to network and make friends. Don't be scared to speak up and meet new people because chances are that they are feeling the exact same way!

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Blue Moon Too located in Downtown Baltimore! Get the Captain Crunch French Toast, you will not regret it!

My advice to prospective students...

is don't be afraid to talk to someone in your class! You would be surprised to find that they are feeling the exact same way! Try to bond with your fellow peers and get involved.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

when some people needed to borrow my notes for my Cultural Anthropology class. Little did I know that I would be meeting some of my best and closest friends to this day. It was fun bonding over the class and our shared experiences as well as studying together and that is something that I will cherish dearly.

I'm passionate about...

Social Justice Advocacy Art History Travelling Painting

I'm involved with...
