Major: Computer Science

Concentration: Cybersecurity


Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Benjamin Johnson (Computer Science) or Rachael Crane (Sociology) because their personalities make the class so much more entertaining and they are hilarious. I'd definitely recommend to enroll in a class taught by them.

My advice to prospective students...

is remember to stay focused and don't lose sight of the reason you're here. Also, UMBC has a TON of resources and opportunities from tutoring to research to professors to student support groups... it's all here for you so please please pretty please use them.

Favorite Spot on Campus

The Women's Center located in The Commons. Their couches are so comfy and it's a quiet place to relax, study, or even take a nap before classes. It's right next to Dunkin Donuts, so I usually get a breakfast sandwich and green tea and do some work or planning.

I chose UMBC because...

I knew I could be the most successful at this school for my major. This is THE school for Computer sScience majors. It may get difficult but I know I'm getting the best education for what I want to do in life. I'm very pleased with my decision of attending UMBC because the people care here, the students and staff, we care about our education and we care about each other.
