• Reason Why I Chose Biola: “I chose to transfer to Biola because the LMU Swim program was cut and I wanted to go somewhere with a heavier focus on God and the Bible. In my initial college search, that wasn’t at the top of my priority, but after one year at a university without it, I’ve come to realize it should’ve been. At our Conference Championships, I observed Biola’s swim team’s culture and knew that was where God wanted me to be.”
