Q: Why did you decide to attend FIU?
A: "I decided to attend FIU because I felt that it was the right choice for me since I was supported, welcomed and able to see myself be fit in when I met with the coaches and the team beforehand. I also felt that with the FIU staff, teammates, and coaches I would be able to reach my greatest potential not only as an athlete but as a student."
