My most memorable UMBC experience was...

My first improv show! I love being a part of the improv troupe on campus. It's been super cool getting involved with planning and admin for the club as well, and I've learned a lot about leadership and what it takes for a student organization to flourish!

My UMBC hack is...

Join student orgs! It's so cool to get involved and organize events on campus. In that same vein: go to events on campus! Especially the Dog Collar Improv shows.

I chose UMBC because...

...of the great community, the beautiful campus, and the excellent arts education offered here. It's close to home but it's given me a place to learn how to live independently and build a strong foundation for a career.
