Why I choose CBEE: After my sister came here for IS, I looked into their ChemE program and I liked how small the class was compared to other universities.
Areas of Interest in Chemical Engineering: Anything medical, like prosthetics.
My favorite thing about CBEE is: How close knit the students are with each other. It’s like having a family. Everyone helps each other pass.
Advice for a new CBEE student: My advice is to enjoy your time here and if you can not rush through. This is a hard major, so do not overburden yourself.
What I plan to do with my Chemical Engineering degree: I would love to help people with disabilities by trying to innovate current technology to better help the patients.
UMBC Activities & Clubs: AICHE, ChemE car, and ChemE K-12
Hobbies: Playing rec soccer, going to the gym and horseback riding.
My favorite thing about the Baltimore area: How close it is to surrounding areas, like D.C. Along with the events like sports and the Aquarium.
