Hi! I am a senior at the University of Maryland, majoring in Marketing and Supply Chain Management. I have been at UMD for the past 3 1​/​2 years and wouldn't change it for the world. Outside of school, I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, going to the gym, and shopping.

Describe your college experience

My college experience was nothing short of amazing. In the beginning I struggled getting adjusted, being an out of state student and leaving home for the first time. However, once I stuck it out, and made friends I found my way. Now as a senior I couldn't feel more at home and get emotional at the thought of leaving. I wouldn't trade the last 3 1​/​2 years for anything.

Tip for future students

1. Put your self out there (join clubs, talk to people in your class). 2. Remember everyone is in the same boat, just as scared as you are. 3. Professors aren't scary, they are there to teach and help you. 4. It gets better, stick it out. 5. Be kind to everyone, college is hard.

Favorite class

My favorite class I have ever taken was "Why Good Managers Make Bad Decisions". This was my favorite class because the professor was very engaging and we spent every class discussing real world events and how it connects to our life. The class was very very interesting because it connected our learning to things we saw happening on the news. The class was also a very relaxed format and everyone was able to raise their hands and speak.

Career goals

After college, I hope to get a job in marketing, preferably social media marketing. I would also like to work for a skincare​/​cosmetic company.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is hanging out with my roommates, getting frozen yogurt and watching a good show. I also enjoy going out to dinner with friends.
