"As a student-athlete, I have learned to embrace all opportunities available to me at GW. I am fortunate to be able to grow, mature and explore my independence, living in the heart of Washington, DC, while also having the security of a fully supportive team of athletes and coaches. The experiences I face as a gymnast enhance the knowledge I gain as a student, which prepares me for endless possibilities in the future."
