Why Brown Statement: “The moment I visited Brown on my first trip to the East coast I fell in love with the incredible people and the city of Providence. The women's coaches were so welcoming and passionate about swimming that I couldn't help but choose Brown's balance of amazing academics and athletics. Psyched to be on College Hill next year!”
