Tour Guide at Towson University
Class of 2024
Hometown: Elkridge, MD
Major: Acting (BFA)
Favorite Spot on Campus
Cook Library, 4th floor. Its super quiet and I like that natural light comes through in the afternoon.
What do you wish you would have known your first semester?
Doing the minimum 12 credits is OK. I was completely stressed doing 16. The college work load and new schedule is new for you and it can be extremely overwhelming. Don't be afraid to drop a class or two. Give yourself the breathing room so you can enjoy your college experience!
How has TU helped you grow?
I have definitely gotten more comfortable asking for help. At every resource I've used, the staff have been very encouraging and incredibly patient with me. Even when I was fumbling with my words or close to tears over the phone, they always met with kindness and were eager to help. It's really boosted my confidence
Favorite Class/Professor at TU
Professor Teresa Spencer. She teaches a lot of courses for Actors in the BFA program. My favorite class so far was her Speech and Dialect class where I learned how to speak in a British accent!
