Why she chose Emory?

"I felt like the balance between quality sports and high degree of education was perfect for me. I am also very interested in natural sciences and the close connection to the NIH and CDC is a great source for me. Finally, I loved the campus so much, I find it beautiful, along with its proximity to downtown Atlanta."
