How has UMBC helped you grow?

Before coming to UMBC I was pretty introverted and reserved, but now after two years here I work directly with new and prospective students in multiple ways across campus. I've found a place where I'm comfortable stepping out of my shell more than I ever did before.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

OCA Mocha is a local coffee shop in Arbutus that was started by UMBC students. They offer discounts for students and have created a really welcoming, calm environment for everyone.

My UMBC hack is...

Taking the elevator through the University Center building to skip the stairs when I'm running late.

What makes UMBC home?

The people - my fellow students, the professors, and other faculty members all do a really great job of making UMBC a place where I can build a community.
