“I had no clue Miami was a thing, because I’m from Maryland. The soccer coaches reached out to me, and my parents said, ‘Just go on a visit — you never know.’ When I came on campus, I thought, ‘Wow, this place is beautiful.’ It just had a different feel, since I’m from the city. Ever since I stepped on campus and got to meet people on campus and professors, I was like, this feels like home.”
