Fun Fact
I spent my high school years at an international school in Shenzhen China!
My advice to prospective students...
It isn't easy to go somewhere unfamiliar and being anxious/nervous is totally okay! Just know that everything will end up okay and try to keep an open and positive mind: it helps a lot!
Favorite Spot on Campus
The stairs and benches next to the Library Pond! I love to see how the pond looks different in the changing seasons and my favorite times to go is when no one else is around and enjoy the tranquility!
My most memorable UMBC experience was...
Playing Dungeons and Dragons in my dorm room with a group of my friends!
