How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
I am prepared to balance a challenging schedule and work closely with a team. I have learned the importance of staying organized, acquired a taste for coffee, and developed the ability to nap at any location at a moment's notice. I will also have the distinct advantage of having a network of over a hundred great friends from football and track teams.
