Why Brown Statement: “I chose Brown because of the top-notch academics, supportive team, and amazing women's swimming and diving program. Deciding to go to Brown was easy given the fact that I knew I would still be able to explore my passions while diving at a high level. I can't wait to see what the next four years will bring!"
