-: I played women's basketball here.
And the rigor and the structure and the need
to manage my time well,
and communicate my needs well,
I think it prepared me incredibly well
for the workplace.
I think even without the sports,
I would have understood the value of structure
and being accountable to that,
so that you can be accountable to others.
That's really what I think I gained the most.
I did love it here as an undergraduate.
As soon as I walked onto the grounds
and looked at the rotunda and felt the energy
which was sort of enlightenment, not to be corny.
And there were other wonderful universities
that I was visiting, but it was palpable,
the energy, the desire to learn,
and just gain as much knowledge as possible
in a short time.
It was a no-brainer after that.
