She/her/hers

Class of 2022

Hometown: Mount Airy, MD

Major: Political Science

Secondary Major: Economics


I chose UMBC because...

The size and academic resources! To me, the campus is the perfect size. Everything is not a far walk but there is always something new to see. At UMBC the faculty truly want to help. I reached out to faculty before I was a student here and they went out of their way to help me! Now as a student here, they are just as eager to help.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

My favorite class is Introduction to Constitutional Law with Jeffrey Davis! Everyone actively participates in class and it leads to very interesting debates!

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

how many resources the school offers. There are so many tutoring and resource services for students! The writing center is a great option for students, plus it's free!

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

OCA Mocha!
