Why Penn? “Choosing Penn wasn’t difficult, but it certainly wasn’t my only option. Ultimately, I chose Penn because of the people. My faith is a very important part of who I am, and when I first met my future teammates, I immediately noticed how they embraced and respected that part of my life. That experience showed me just how welcoming and supportive the team truly is. Combined with Penn’s outstanding academic opportunities and excellent athletic program, I knew it was the right place for me.”
