Why did you choose Towson University?

I choose Towson University for two reasons. The first is that TU is a really good education school and one of the largest producers of teachers in the state. Their education program is rigorous and I'm excited to be apart of it. My other reason is their study abroad program. TU really prides itself on welcoming national students and encouraging its students to study abroad as well, which is something I've wanted to do since I was in middle school. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to do it during my time here at Towson.

On a random day, you’ll most likely find me …

Either doing my work in the quiet room at my dorm or reading somewhere on campus. I'm trying to get out of my dorm more this semester, so when the weather's nice, you can most likely find me outside with my current read!

How has TU helped you grow?

TU has really helped me expand my horizons more than ever. I'm typically a very introverted person, but joining different clubs on campus and gaining leadership positions in them have helped with my people skills and made me a little bit more comfortable being in the spotlight/talking more freely about what I love.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

I love going to BJ's Brewhouse on Joppa Road! It is a restaurant and their pizookies (pizza cookies with ice cream) are literally amazing! It's also close to the movie theater, with other really nice restaurants surrounding it so catching dinner and a movie is always a fun thing to do on the weekends or even during a week night when you're not super busy and looking for something to do off campus.
