Precious Adetayo-Oguntade
Hello! My name is Precious Adetayo-Oguntade. I am a chemical engineering major. I transferred in fall of 2019 from University of Lynchburg. I like to watch k-dramas, thrift and create content for social media. I also like to experiment with new makeup looks and style while also creating pieces of my own. My career goal is to be a cosmetic engineer and one day open a business targeted towards skincare and beauty for women of color. My number one tip for transfer students is to get out there and see what UMBC has to offer!
