Redefining what it means to be both an athlete and a scholar! Naomi Girma is a professional soccer player for Chelsea FC and the U.S. Women’s National Team, and a graduate of Stanford University, where she studied engineering and how people think, learn and make decisions. On the field, she’s known as one of the best defenders in the world—reading the game, anticipating plays, and making split-second decisions under pressure. Her engineering background shapes how she thinks about movement, space, and performance. By combining elite athletics with a STEM education, Naomi shows the next generation that you don’t have to choose between your passions—you can excel in both.
