Why Brown? “I chose Brown University because, for me, it felt like the perfect blend of academics and athletics on an elite level. I had several programs that showed interest, but the Brown basketball staff felt like a second family to me. In addition, my visit and tour at the engineering department confirmed that I will be well prepared in my career path. I knew this was the place for me to grow as a person and player. I'm looking forward to beginning my next chapter in a diverse and welcoming atmosphere.”
