International Student-Athlete Podcast
The International Student-Athlete Podcast exists to give voice and a platform to international student-athletes in the United States. We are dedicated to sharing stories, exchanging advice, and providing insights that make the college journey more manageable, rewarding, and empowering. Through honest conversations and practical guidance, we aim to support international student-athletes in navigating academics, athletics, and life away from home.
Our vision is to build a connected community of international student-athletes in the U.S. — a space where experiences are celebrated, resources are shared, and challenges are transformed into opportunities. By amplifying diverse voices and fostering connection, we aspire to become a trusted resource that helps international student-athletes thrive on campus and create the life they dream about.

Guest #7 - Suzana Andrade
Suzana, a former indoor and sand volleyball student-athlete, has inspired many by leading through example and sharing her journey from high school to junior college and eventually to a Division I university. Now serving as a Division II sand volleyball head coach, Suzana walked us through her favorite memories, the struggles she faced, and the academic challenges turned into lessons. She also shares valuable insights on navigating the H-1B visa process, along with what players should prioritize when pursuing recruitment and striving to succeed as collegiate student-athletes.
