Julia Shaunessy

Hi everyone! My name is Julia Shaunessy and I am a rising senior on the Boston University women’s ice hockey team. I grew up in Duxbury, Massachusetts and went to Duxbury Public Schools until my freshman year of high school when I decided to attend Tabor Academy in Marion. Through my prep school experience I was able to learn how to balance my schedule in order to focus on school and hockey properly, allowing me to get where I am today. I also played soccer and lacrosse at Tabor Academy and won a New England Championship for soccer my Junior year.

I am grateful to be given the opportunity to share with younger generations everything I’ve learned throughout my many years of playing sports at a high level. Through my virtual mentorship, I hope to:

• Help athletes properly balance academics and athletics

• Give my insight on the recruiting process and help others through theirs

• Draw on my experiences and help guide athletes to achieve their goals

• Help athletes understand the importance of a positive mindset and grow their confidence

Becoming a collegiate athlete can be a daunting task but I hope with my experience and insight I can help others obtain their goals and dreams.
