BioMy name is Aniya Williams, a student-athlete on the Stanford Women’s Soccer Team. I've played soccer since I was 3 years old, and have been fortunate enough to represent Mexico at the U-17 and U-20 levels. I’m the founder of the Among Warriors Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping underprivileged youth gain access to sports and mentorship with the aim of empowering them to operate at a level of excellence. I plan to major in business or medicine, and desire to continue building a life that encompasses purpose, performance, and impact.
