Earlham College

Selena comes to Earlham from Avon, Ohio, by way of Parma—two places that shaped her growth both on and off the field. After being introduced to soccer at a young age by her dad, who never missed a game and constantly supported her development, Selena has built a 14-year playing career defined by persistence and passion. She takes pride in her intelligent, dynamic runs that disrupt opposing defenses and create attacking opportunities, and she’s always embraced the challenges that come with a team-first mindset. Inspired by players like Crystal Dunn, she’s learned to use her size to her advantage and values the way soccer lifts her spirits and offers a space to grow with teammates.
At Earlham, Selena plans to study Exercise, Health and Sports Studies on the pre-occupational therapy track. She was drawn to the college for its positive atmosphere and the immediate warmth and support she felt from the team—something she's excited to carry forward as she builds strong relationships throughout her college journey. Described as funny, outgoing, and energetic, Selena is most proud of helping her high school team make history by reaching the final four in the state playoffs. Her core values—patience and growth—continue to guide her, and she’s ready to take on this next chapter with the same drive that’s carried her this far.
Why Earlham? 
“I chose Earlham because when I first met the team, everyone was so nice and welcoming and also the positive atmosphere the college itself made me really want to be a part of that.”
