Graham, known for her prowess as a striker or winger, brings her exceptional skills and dedication to the STU Women's Soccer Program. "A fast forward with a strong left foot and great technical ability," expressed Itoafa. 

Graham's decision to join St. Thomas University stems from her desire to be part of a tight-knit community where she can thrive both academically and athletically.

Academically, Graham is passionate about criminology and has a keen interest in human services, law, and politics. She also harbors a fascination with sociology and its implications for human behavior. Her academic pursuits align with STU's commitment to fostering critical thinking and social responsibility.

In addition to her athletic and academic endeavors, Graham is actively involved in extracurricular activities. She has showcased her versatility by participating in the school badminton team and excelling in track and field, earning a spot in the 400x4 provincial relay race for her school.

Looking ahead, Graham is eager to integrate herself into the STU Women's Program and forge strong bonds with her teammates. "I am excited to meet my new teammates and become close with them. I also need to prepare myself for all the training that is starting in August," she expressed.
