moniqueMonique is currently taking William Penn University by storm!

The soccer superstar has seen incredible gains to her soccer skills and physicality, as well as excelling academically. (We mean it, she made the prestigious Dean’s List during her very first semester!)

As well as excelling in her sport and academic life, Monique has made life-long friends in her team and classmates, referring to them as “like a big family”.

Monique recalls the very night she applied for NSR:

“I applied for NSR one night. I was talking to my best friend about it, and got really excited about it, and we both applied. I’m so glad I did it.”

Monique is adamant that choosing the NSR pathway was the best thing she has ever done, and advises other aspiring athletes to do the same.

“Just go for it. Give it a go. What could you lose from it? It’s an experience, and you meet so many new people. The sport over there…they’re so intense about it. Training every day, I was so fit. A little bit less fit now (laughs)” she said.

Awesome advice, Monique!
