Why did you choose Brown? “I chose Brown for two reasons: athletics and academics. Academically, Brown offers an open curriculum, which will allow me to explore my interests and ultimately pursue a field that I am passionate about.

If our team pulls together, as we have done in the past, we will defend our PAISSA and Inter-Ac championship titles. My teammates and I have been working hard the past few years to establish Agnes Irwin as a highly competitive team and we hope our hard work will pay off this year.”
