I am most proud of my commitment to academic excellence, both at UMD and ASU, and receiving the ability to make a positive impact on so many students' lives in my profession.
The History program at UMD provided multiple opportunities for me to challenge myself academically. All classes helped me expand my knowledge on multiple subjects and experiment with new research and writing techniques. The professors truly care about each student, and I feel that I was more prepared for my Master's program thanks to an excellent education here. I also appreciated the option to double major in both general history and teaching social studies, which will make new graduates like me more competitive in the job market.
