Naomi Mora '25 Recruiting Profile

As a student-athlete, I have primarily focused on my academics, keeping myself disciplined physically and mentally in the balance of education and athletics. My grades demonstrate significant and sustained excellence and improvement; all while maintaining my commitment to various extracurricular activities such as: Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Softball, Student Council, MESA, Key Club and Writing Club. I crave a competitive athletic and academic environment that will challenge me as both a student and athlete. 

I am determined to pursue sports in the future as a collegiate student athlete. I have always believed sports to be a positive challenge and a chance to socialize and meet new people as well as the chance to be part of a team. My experiences with sports have yielded several invaluable lessons that will directly enable me to succeed in medical school and my future nursing career. I deeply appreciate what my athletic experiences have taught me about myself. 

My athletic experiences have taught me to relish hard work and perseverance. I learned that I am a self-motivated individual with an ability to persevere without needing encouragement from others. I crave competitive environments, especially ones where I am not the most gifted or talented, and enjoy intense preparation and working with a team to reach a common goal; even when there is little personal reward or recognition. I have also learned to remain positive and persistent amid disappointments. These experiences have enabled me to continually advance and develop my communication and teamwork skills. Sports participation has also encouraged me to strive to reach my fullest potential as both an individual and member of a team. I look forward to achieving my maximum potential. I hope to apply these lessons in a career as a nurse practitioner in a family practice setting. I am confident that my ability to remain disciplined amidst demanding situations; will allow me to thrive as both a medical student and a high performing collegiate athlete.
