Emilia Payan Flores '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Emilia Payan, and I am very excited about the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic journey. I play soccer as both a goalkeeper and a center back, roles that have taught me discipline, communication, and leadership on the field.

Academically, I am currently in my fourth semester pursuing a degree in Hospitality Management. This field allows me to combine my passion for leadership, service, and organizational skills. I take pride in balancing my schoolwork with my athletic commitments. I believe the same qualities that make me a reliable player — focus, resilience, and accountability — also make me a dedicated student.

What sets me apart as a recruit is my adaptability and mindset. I am committed to giving my best effort in every practice, match, and class. I value teamwork, but I also hold myself accountable to improve individually every day. My goal is to contribute to a program that enables me to grow both as a student and an athlete, while helping the team succeed and pursuing excellence in the classroom.
