Kayla Morran '16 Recruiting Profile

I am interested in majoring in Criminal Justice.  There are many different career opportunities that I can pursue in this field.  I am looking for a college that will give me exposure and  internships, and that will help guide me towards the best fit for my career goals.  I also have other interests that I am considering either a double major or a minor, such as political science, or psychology/special education.

I have a passion for soccer, and specifically goalkeeping.  I have been a goalkeeper for over 6 years as my primary position.  I believe I have a natural ability in that spot, but am always looking for improvement and am able to put into action quickly the skills I have been taught. I am also versatile.  I have been a successful forward/striker and have been able to score many goals with the little amount of time that I have spent on the field, rather than goalkeeping.   I have taken on leadership roles within all the teams I have been on and have supported my team through encouragement, leading by example, and also with humor.  I have also helped train the middle school team while in high school.

I am very conscientious about my grades.  I have taken multiple AP courses and honors courses.  I have consistently been on the Honor Roll and currently attend a Blue Ribbon Awarded high school.  I participate in other extracurricular activities outside of sports in order to stay active and well rounded in my other areas of interest.  I also plan to attend a  Leadership and International Affairs summer program through the People to People Organization.

I also work a part time job as a waitress which is helping me to learn the importance of self reliance, responsibility and work ethic.
