CSM Class of Winter 2022

I have been affiliated with CSM for 15 years, first as a summer camp student, then a summer camp employee, and now a college student (and graduate!). I would consider myself to be someone who has contributed a lot to society and who has tried to live life to the fullest, since I believe that we only live once.

My experiences with CSM started long before my first semester as a college student in 2019. In 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2013, I was a student camper at the Kids’ & Teen College summer camp. I had a great time, so much so that in 2017 I came back to train as a camp counselor. I worked as a Kids’ & Teen College counselor each summer from 2018 to 2021, and I have loved working with the students and the fellow staff.

I’ve just finished my degree and will graduate in January 2022. I want to become a journalist, in broadcasting preferably. I also love game shows and trivia, so hopefully I can work in that genre if I end up in television. My biggest dream is to be a game show host. 

I have loved being affiliated with the College of Southern Maryland over the past 15 years in different ways. The staff has always been great towards me, especially helping me adjust during my first semester as a college student, and the services offered at the college are just incredible. I will never forget how great the people at CSM are, and the college has left a great impact on me that will always be remembered.
