Melanie Sanchez '21 Recruiting Profile

             I have been swimming for about 12 years, six of which were on a small YMCA team and six on a competitive swim team, Condors Swim Club. Academics are one of my top priorities, but swimming is definitely a big factor in my college decision. I put my best foot forward in both my academics and how I perform in the water. In the past, I have assisted my swim coach with the younger swimmers in helping them improve their strokes as well as embodying our team mantra of building a strong relationship with our fellow teammates. 

            I am currently enrolled at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle, New York, and have achieved academic honors throughout the past years. I also have been a part of the Ursuline swim team achieving scholar-athlete awards and attending NYS Championships in Ithaca, New York representing my school and section. Within my school, I also belong to two clubs contributing to those who are in need of food as well as helping  Children's Health and Cystic Fibrosis Awareness by participating in various activities. 

            I hope to attend college and major in Occupational Therapy. I really enjoy helping those around me and this opportunity will allow me to in a much bigger spectrum.
