Reflecting on her impressive golf career, Reva shares: “Golf for me is a game of decision-making, focus, and constant adjustment. Every shot requires problem-solving and discipline. I approach the game by trying to understand not just what works, but why it works, using strategy, pattern recognition, and analytics to test ideas and improve over time. That mindset has helped me stay adaptable and mentally tough, and it carries over into how I approach school more broadly. BUA has allowed me to pursue competitive golf while staying engaged in a challenging academic environment, with teachers and classmates who support and cheer me on.”
