Raquel's Goal: My goal is to enrich both my athletic and academic career. I have a constant need to learn more, both in academic and sports levels, so I am very motivated to learn new training methods and discover different realities within the track and field world and to learn more in the field of physiotherapy, specializing in exercise and sport. I am a really hard working, resilient person with a good capacity of organization and time management, so I think that I will be able to bring positive things to the college team I represent.
