Personal

The daughter of Shiro Rahimkhani and Mory Afshar, Neda is currently undecided. 

Neda on Nebraska: "I chose Nebraska because I really enjoyed getting to know Coach Dalmagro and learning about the culture being built within the program. The focus on player development as well as team chemistry/bonding stood out to me, and I believe it will provide a great environment for me to continue growing both on and off the court. I’m also excited for the opportunity to compete in a new and strong conference and represent Nebraska.”
