My name is Nina Kalinowska and I’m a student-athlete at Monroe University. I’m originally from Poland and have been playing soccer since I was little. Sports have always been a big part of my life and have taught me the importance of hard work, discipline, and staying motivated. I chose Sports Management as my major because I want to stay connected to the sports industry and continue being a part of the world I love. Outside of sports and school, my family is a very important part of my life. They have always supported me and taught me the value of hard work, respect, and staying true to myself. Moving from Poland to the US has been a big experience for me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow, meet new people, and experience a different lifestyle. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me and to continue doing what I love.
