I chose Lynn for its Innovation, great location, and the basketball program.I like to explore the community, go to facilities to work out, and hit the beach. After graduation, I want to stay in the area and get a job down here in South Florida.

I chose Lynn because I love the warm weather and South Florida as a whole! I also got recruited to play softball here and I like having the block scheduling. Outside of class I like to hang out with my friends whether that's going to the beach or going shopping! And playing softball of course. After graduation, I hope to become a journalist or work in TV production. Maybe work for HBO, or Vogue or become a News Reporter!
