Frances is a Center for Women in Technology Scholar that has had many on-campus roles, including being President of the Chesapeake Hall Community Council her freshman year, serving as an SGA Senator, and previous Executive Vice President. In addition to these leadership roles, Frances is passionate about making an impact within the community and ensuring the UMBC adventure is fulfilling for all students. She brings a wide variety of experiences to the position of SGA President.

We again thank her for her service and contributions to SGA and the UMBC community.
