Kathryn Chen '21 Recruiting Profile

My goals in college are to go into nursing. I would like to get a 4 year bachelor's degree in nursing then possibly a masters. I am even considering getting a degree as a Physician's Assistant. I have decided on nursing because I feel that it is a perfect fit for me. I love to help people and I am interested in the medical field. I also want a lot of patient interaction and I feel like doctors don't have a lot of patient interaction.  I’m different from other recruits because I may not be that tall, but I make up for my height in other ways such as my knowledge of the game and my versatility. I know how and where to place the ball and I have a very good sense of the game.  I am also a very versatile player. I set for my high school team as well as playing outside. For club I play all around outside but I can also play right side and middle. Playing in college has been my dream since I started playing and over the years I want it more and more. I also believe I can be a very strong leader. No, I might not be the loudest on the court, but I still lead by helping people where to go or giving advice on what they need to fix. Academically, I have always been a scholar athlete. At my middle school, it was pretty easy to maintain my grades.  In high school it definitely became more challenging and I am fully aware that in college I have to maintain those grades. I intend to work harder than I ever have to keep those grades and keep playing.
