A Jersey Blues Testimonial - Women's Soccer Alum Natasha Arena

Lincroft, NJ - Natasha Arena, a former Brookdale women's soccer player for two seasons and a 2007 graduate, is currently working for the NFL. Arena shares her time and experience as a Jersey Blues student-athlete and the impact it has on her life today.

 

"In life, and as a former student-athlete, Brookdale Community College has taught me what it is to be a hard worker and  to have a positive impact on one's community. I have always told many that I wished Brookdale was a four-year school because it always left a positive impression on me in my academics and especially when I played soccer there. I was able to make lasting friendships with my teammates that are still very much a part of my life today.

 

My love of sports has always been with me at such a young age and it was always something I was proud to be a part of; that locker room environment. When I decided what I wanted my career to look like, it was going to be something I was passionate about, and that was sports; making a difference in my community and being around athletes of the game. Fortunately, that is exactly what I am doing now with my career and working for the NFL. I am able to impact guys that play the game, but more importantly assist them with life after football. I truly believe that being a Jersey Blue gave me the tools to succeed in my career path."
