“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. I stepped on campus and got to meet people and professors. This feels like home.”
