    <p><strong>Q: What do you like best about being a student caller?</strong></p>
    <p>A: I love being able to talk to a wide variety of alumni and hearing about their experience at UMBC. It is also very interesting to hear about how the campus has changed throughout the years.</p>
    <p><strong>Q: What are your plans after graduation?</strong></p>
    <p>A: I plan on going to medical school, focusing on neuroscience and ultimately practicing neurosurgery. Eventually I want to study autism in children and how the brain is affected.</p>
