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!

I chose UMBC because...

I really liked how diverse it was both in terms of the student body and the variety of programs that it has to offer!

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

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

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...
