Why Wake?: "I actually never visited Wake Forest before committing, which might seem risky to some, but all of the phone calls I had with my coaches and advisors proved to be all I needed to make this decision. Wake Forest is a smaller school, which means there is more time for individual learning and the professors are able to focus on you more. With this in mind, I decided that this was the best place for me to be, and I was definitely right."
PERSONAL: Daughter of Ernesto Blanch and has three siblings -- Ulises (24), Dali (19), and Darwin (15)... Plans to focus her collegiate studies on Computer Science.
