I am an outgoing, creative, funny gal. I love trying new things and having new experiences. I love exploring nature and experiencing the more beautiful aspects of the real world. I know all the ins and outs of campus and will give you a real look into the college experience. My whole family has gone to Maryland so I am very, very familiar with all aspects of the school.

Describe your college experience

My college experience so far has been wonderful. I have met lots of interesting, kind people and have had some amazing experiences. The initial transition was difficult, but once I adjusted I found new independence and learned greater adult responsibilities.

Tip for future students

Before starting at UMD I wish I knew more about the major requirements and well as sought out and advisor earlier in my college journey, because there are some very confusing aspects and having a mentor is very helpful.

Favorite class

My favorite class was the Philosophy of Death. I had a great professor, and the class was structured in a way that allowed for more of a a discussion, forum setting rather than solely taking notes and tests. I also thought there was some interesting content and I learned a great deal.

Career goals

After college I hope to go to nursing school as well as becoming an American Sign Language interpreter.

Ideal way to spend a free night

On a free night I enjoy getting together with friends, whether it be in an apartment or out in college park. My friends and I have also explored some of the local areas, and I particularly enjoy the nature aspects of UMD and finding nice trees and spots to watch the sunset.
