Nia Pegues '20 Recruiting Profile

Whenever in the classroom or on the field, I am determined to succeed and win.

I want to major in neuroscience with a minor in computer science.  My long term goal is to take the pre-med track, go to med school, and eventually become a forensic medical examiner.   I am a strong candidate for college soccer, because of my calmness under pressure, determination, and my lively spirit, even when things seem grim.  Likewise, what makes me a great candidate academically is my hard work ethic and willingness to learn everything, even to its smallest technical aspect.  On the other hand, what sets me apart athletically is my grit, willingness to adapt, and my positive mental attitude. For example, whenever my team is losing badly and our spirits are low, I always keep up the energy with a few jokes and motivational quips.  I’ve been playing soccer for several years and can’t wait to continue in college.
