My UMBC hack is...
to make sure you give yourself time to take care of yourself and invest time into your interests!
My most memorable UMBC experience was...
Quadmania! This is a fun event during homecoming weekend were a carnival comes to campus and you get to go on rides and play games. When I was with my friends, we won a huge stuffed animal and I'll never forget how much we laughed and enjoyed that night!
How has UMBC helped you grow?
I have met some of the most wonderful people at UMBC who push me to do my best work every day. So, UMBC has helped me grow by introducing me to people who will always push me to be my best.
Favorite Spot on Campus
My favorite spot on campus is the 7th floor of the library. I love to find a cozy corner and do my homework and catch up with friends!
