Getting to know Mya

My favorite non-Brandeis athletic moment: Playing pick-up with my Dad at the local soccer field.

My favorite course at Brandeis has been: "Critical Perspectives in Urban Education" with Professor Derron Wallace because it addresses both the roots of educational inequalities and possible solutions to these issues. 

My favorite place on campus outside the gym is: The tables outside of the Shapiro Campus Center.

My favorite TV show is: Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" because it combines two of my favorite things: travelling and eating.
