Grad Issue: Leadership skills has student-athlete poised for success

Students often find it difficult to attend college and balance priorities — and student-athletes make it that much more challenging when they decide to throw playing a sport into the mix.

Muñoz, who decided to pursue communication as a major while minoring in marketing said she knew right away that the University of New Mexico was the right fit for her.

“I felt really at home, especially having some past high school teammates come here,” she said. “It was really comfortable and easy for me to just transition.”

Former players Katie Hinman, Alexa Cabrales, Ashley Ballantyne and Casey Murphy all attended high school in Mission Viejo, California, which is also where Muñoz attended.
