Sophia Dhanani '20 Recruiting Profile

I believe in the idea that "you get back what you put in" and so I radiate positivity,  whether it is at a meet, encouraging my teammates, or as a volunteer teaching children with disabilities how to enjoy the water. Positive team culture is key for me and it is what I am looking for in my future collegiate team.

I bring passion, stellar work ethic, and tenacity to academics, swimming, volunteering, and lifeguarding. I have dreamed of helping people through medicine for as long as I can remember, and hope to find the right program that will set me on the path to achieving my ultimate goal of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon. I hope to improve the lives of children suffering from brain tumors and other similar diseases. My perseverance in the hyper-competitive sport of swimming, as well as my ability to balance athletics with a rigorous academic course-load, makes me an excellent candidate for your women's swim team.
