How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has given me more confidence. When I worked our summer orientation program, the professional staff helped me to develop my leadership skills which I then transferred over to the classroom. Now I can speak in front of crowds with confidence.
My UMBC hack is...
to get to class an hour early. I'm a commuter and in order to find a parking spot, I like to leave an hour before my class starts to give myself time to park and then time to walk to class.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Plaza Artist Materials and Picture Framing in downtown Baltimore City. If you take any visual arts courses, Plaza Artist Materials is the place to go to get well- priced art supplies and they have a wide variety of materials.
Favorite Spot on Campus
Starbucks on Academic Row. It's a central spot where I can recharge with coffee and meet up with my friends.
