“Why CMU?”: “I chose to attend CMU because of the environment, the people, and the feeling I got when I stepped foot on campus. For me, my recruiting process as a soccer player had been challenging, and no place that I had visited felt like the right fit for me. When I first came to the CMU Soccer ID camp, I immediately loved the whole team and the coaches. I loved the energy they had, and it just seemed like a group that was like a family. But when I came on my visit in September, it just felt like a place that was a good fit for me. I thought the campus was beautiful because it reminded me a lot of my hometown. I love how I am close to home, so my family can visit me and come to watch me play. The environment at Central is just so inclusive and positive, and I am so excited to have the privilege of joining a soccer program that is so amazing and to be attending a school that I know will set me up well for the future.”
