How has UMBC helped you grow?

Every faculty member you'll meet, from teachers to advisors, really cares about your success, academically and personally. I've met a lot of people who have encouraged and helped me to do things I wouldn't have thought I was ready for.

What makes UMBC home?

Everyone I've met on campus. It's a small enough campus that nearly any time I walk anywhere, I run into someone I know, and I really love that.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Debating America with Professor Jeremy Spahr. It's a first-year seminar that was my first ever in-person class. I learned a lot about contemporary issues, and having discussions about them was really fun.
