My name is Milena Branco, and I am a forward on the Quinnipiac University Women’s Soccer Team. I am currently studying in the School of Health Sciences, with minors in Nutrition and Healthcare Management. My academic and athletic experiences have helped shape me into a disciplined, driven individual with a strong passion for wellness and community service. Before coming to Quinnipiac, I was actively involved in several leadership initiatives throughout high school. These opportunities allowed me to develop strong communication and teamwork skills, as well as a deep sense of responsibility. I also dedicated a significant amount of time to volunteer work, whether it was feeding the homeless, spending time with residents in senior homes, or supporting local community events. These experiences taught me compassion, empathy, and the importance of giving back—values I carry with me both on and off the field.
