Why Brown?: “I chose Brown University because its open curriculum aligns with my desire to explore diverse interests. Additionally, I was drawn to Brown's Division I field hockey program for its dedicated coaching staff and inclusive team culture. The school's balance between high-level athletics and rigorous academics, along with its emphasis on collaboration and well-rounded student-athlete development, made it the perfect fit for me.”
