Class of 2016 Graduate: Ava Ambrose

Ava Ambrose is a forward/defender on the University of Miami soccer team from Omaha, Neb., and is graduating this weekend with a degree in media management, so we caught up with her prior to her big day.

This summer/fall I plan to move to Dallas to pursue a career in television/media.

Playing for the Hurricanes soccer team was one of the greatest accomplishments and privileges. I am so fortunate to have met so many amazing teammates and lifelong friends because of this opportunity.

In four years at Miami, I have been able to grow and mature as a person as well as experience some pretty cool things.

One of my best memories of my time at Miami was meeting David Beckham, of course!!

A class at Miami that I really enjoyed was MCY 127 Evolution of Rock. That class was really something special and you listen to a lot of music!

Coach Mary-Frances Monroe impacted me by always challenging me, whether it be through fitness tests or by moving my position a few times, but I learned how to overcome adversity, which I am very thankful for.

In five years, I hope my body has fully recovered from college soccer, haha, but I hope to be very, very happy doing something that I am passionate about.
