I AM Paulo Miranda

I AM A GLOBAL CITIZEN. As an economics/finance and international business major, I’m living my education. I’m from Belo Morizonte, Brazil, so every day in Moscow is like being in the classroom, learning different cultures and making new friends. I came to Idaho for the quality of its tennis program, the strength of the Western Athletic Conference and the University of Idaho’s reputation for academic excellence. I’ve always been a competitive person, but being here has taught me the importance of having both an open mind and a determined spirit. When I return home to Brazil, I’m looking forward to putting all of my experiences as a student-athlete at Idaho to good use, both in my career and in life.
