Memories as a Student Athlete
On the field, my favorite memory would be winning Mayor's Cup my junior year. We had a great weekend and were connecting really well as a team which was fun to be a part of. Off the field, the tailgates after games, playing pick-up with teammates, and our trip Bermuda were a few of my favorite moments.
 
Personal Reflection
The overall feeling that I have felt from the moment I stepped foot on campus was the feeling of family. The faculty, staff, and students make Oneonta the special place that it is, and I am very happy to be a part of it. On the academic side of things, I could not have asked for better professors in the Spanish department who have given endless support and have inspired me in the field of foreign language education. Athletically, I feel very grateful for the hard work that our coaches, trainers, and staff put in to helping us succeed on and off of the field. Lastly, I of course have to mention my teammates. Oneonta gave some lifelong friends; without them, the experience wouldn't have been the same.
 
Head Soccer Coach Liz McGrail said,
"Micaela made the best of her experience here at Oneonta both on and off the field. She was an impact starter for us from day one.  She represented our Department and the College for SUNYAC SAAC.  She was a student representative for the Foundation Board and she studied abroad, all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She is a role model student-athlete that will be truly missed.  I look forward to hearing all her life updates as I know they will be filled with great experiences."
