Fun Fact

Comedian and actor Scott Seiss was a founding member of Dog Collar Comedy, UMBC's improv troupe that I am a part of!

My UMBC hack is...

Join student orgs! It's so cool to get involved and organize events on campus. In that same vein: go to events on campus!

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

I love Taste Tea, the boba place near campus! It's walking distance, but it's also accessible by the UMBC bus. It's honestly my favorite boba place ever.

I chose UMBC because...

...of the great community, the beautiful campus, and the excellent arts education offered here. It's close to home but it's given me a place to learn how to live independently and build a strong foundation for a career.

I'm passionate about...
