Alev was a two-sport star at the University of Wisconsin, where she played both soccer and hockey. As a college freshman, she helped the soccer team reach the Sweet 16.

Two years later, she assisted on the game-winning goal against Boston University in the National Championship.

"As a teenager, you have that dream of doing both sports," Alev beams. "I loved them both. For me, I wanted an amazing athletic school, but also an amazing academic school. UW made me a better athlete, but also academically competitive in the corporate world."
