There are a lot of words that can be used to describe Evelina Moran. Kind, social, caring, and full of energy are only some of the words that Evelina’s friends use to describe her.

When Sara Marrufo, one of Evelina’s closest friends, was asked to describe Evelina in three words, she chose the words bubbly, social, and sensitive. “I chose these words because the first impression I got from her was her energy. She is so curious and excited about life in general and it shows whenever she walks into a room.”

Evelina loves surrounding herself with people. So, it doesn’t come as surprise that one of her hobbies is spending quality time with her friends, as well as soccer and skiing. But her most favorite hobby of all, is singing Taylor Swift in the car with all of her friends.

When Evelina was asked about something that had a big impact on who she is today, she answered that her mom moving to Sweden had a big impact on who she is today. Her mom moved to Sweden when Evelina was 10-years-old and since then, her and her sister would go to Sweden for two months every year. “We were able to travel the world and see so many things. If I never experienced different cultures, I would not be the person I am today.” she said.

Evelina has been playing soccer for 8 years. After high school, she did not want to give up on one of her biggest hobbies, so Evelina decided to continue her soccer career at Morningside University.

During a team bonding activity with her soccer team, Evelina met a lot of new people, some of who would end up to be a some of her closest friends. One of these people was Jolina Steubner. When Jolina was asked how she experienced being Evelina’s teammate, she said “She’s always positive and cheering up everybody. She makes those around her better.”

Evelina’s biggest dream is to become a world traveler. She has been traveling since she was 10-years-old and it’s her absolute favorite thing to do, which is why she wants to continue doing it. Evelina feels very lucky to have seen as many countries as she did. She doesn’t only want to travel, but she also wants to volunteer and help people in need all around the world. This shows again what a kind and caring Evelina Moran is.

“If I could fulfill my dream I would be the happiest person.” Evelina said.
