Why Brown? “I chose Brown for several reasons. The first was that it had high-level athletics which was important for me as I wanted to grow as a player. The second was that Brown has some of the best academic programs in the country, and with my love of learning, I thought that it would be an amazing place to expand my knowledge. Many colleges do not have the wide range of courses and in-depth topics that Brown has. This was a big factor in choosing Brown.”
