Fun facts about you

I love to travel, and my favorite places I’ve been to are Hawaii and Italy. I also love cats, in which I have 6 of my own.

Why are you excited to be a Peer Advisor?

I enjoy working in office spaces and in environments with a steady pace; not too fast as to be overwhelming, but not too slow as to have nothing to work on. I also enjoy customer service work and helping others any way I can.

What is your favorite thing about UMD?

I love the community. I’ve met so many wonderful people here, including my fellow students and various faculty members. It’s great how you can surround yourself with people who care about you, support you, and truly want to see you succeed both personally and academically.
