Why Stanford? »
"I chose Stanford because I want to make a difference. Getting my education from a university that promotes excellence and innovation, with world-renowned professors while also having the privilege to train and study on a vibrant campus filled with driven people brings me joy. When I step into the gym, I am not only working hard to represent this prestigious institution but also the team's dream of winning an NCAA National championship. I am extremely fortunate to call this place my future home and I cannot wait to spend the next four years growing in a place with high academic and athletic standards."
