Atonye Nyingifa

As a young girl she used to sit in the living room with her dad, watching Kobe, Shaq and the rest of Lakers, little did she know that she too would be a professional basketball player some day.  Atonye Nyingifa tried many different sports growing up but basketball was the one that stuck. She accepted a college scholarship to play at UCLA, received her undergrad and masters degree before saying yes to her first professional gig in Thailand.  She's since played in Israel, Spain and Africa, the next big stop being Japan and the 2021 Olympic games.  Academics and athletics, Atonye has managed to do it all.
