GET TO KNOW LUIZA:
  • Why did you choose Iona?: I chose Iona because of how tight knit the swim team is and how the coaches really want us athletes to grow in the pool and outside the pool. The school itself also gives its students great opportunities to succeed. It is also great being close to home.
  • Hobbies: Outside of swimming, I enjoy going to museums around the city and taking pictures
  • Favorite food: Anything
  • Interesting fact: I'm Brazilian and that I'm fluent in Portuguese
  • Person/people I admire the most: I admire my parents a lot and truly appreciate all the things they have done for me
