Maya Burton '25 Recruiting Profile

          Hello!  I'm Maya and I am a high school junior golfer who has played the sport for about four years- two of which with a coach to further my game.  Although I do not have the same years of experience or athletic accolades that many of those around me have, I have grown an overwhelming passion and appreciation for the sport in the few years that I have been fortunate enough to play.  

          No matter the context, I have always loved to learn; I crave feedback and am always honored to be taught lessons on how to better myself by my mentors.  I know that playing golf in college will not only help me develop as an athlete, but also push me to manage my time, maintain organization, and keep myself grounded in ways that would not be possible limiting myself to a classroom environment.  

          I am looking for a way to continue playing throughout my collegiate years while also managing to prioritize my academics, as I am looking to find a future in pediatric medicine and want to devote as much effort as possible in the classroom to make that a reality.
