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.

My UMBC hack is...

starting work ahead of time if necessary, so I can always get eight hours of sleep a night.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

On campus: Halal Shack, off campus would have to be Fire Wok.

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.

I'm passionate about...

playing the guitar

I'm involved with...
