"At JWU, there’s a lot of ways to get experience where you’re still in school, such as through VITA, which is the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, and that allows students to do taxes for individuals who maybe can't afford to have their taxes done," she shared. Hear how being a student-athlete helped her learn time management, teamwork and organizational skills.
