Academic Background:
University of Maryland, B.A. in Sociology, Minor in Leadership Studies

Favorite Quote: “If you ask me what I came to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud” – Emile Zola
Being Greek means to Maggie: constant pursuit of bettering yourself and lifting up those around you to do the same. When it’s done well, membership makes us better people by providing values and standards to be change-makers, advocates, and those that push our people and communities to new heights.

Favorite Things & Passions: I enjoy traveling to new countries (pre and post COVID-19), exploring different restaurants in the city, spending time with my family and close friends, and going to National Parks.

Being apart of Fraternity and Sorority Life means to Cristian: As a fraternity man, I hope that I am able to make an impact and support our students who are looking for leadership opportunities, values that drive their actions, and a community away from home to create change within their communities. As a biracial man working in higher education, I hope to continue to support our students of color through their fraternal experience.
