Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I chose Mac because of how great a fit it was when I visited.  Not only did it have a prestigious university academically resembling ivy league schools, but it also had a successful baseball program with coaches and players who made it seem like a very good fit.  Additionally, Mac has the small school and tight community environment I was looking for while also being conveniently located by the Twin Cities always having something to do. 

What has your experience at Macalester meant to you so far?
Macalester has given me access to a great education, and I have made lifelong friends playing the game that I love.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
Throughout my time at Macalester, I have learned invaluable lessons specifically about time management and hard work. Having to balance four classes, student employment, and a demanding baseball schedule, I have learned how to multi-task and plan ahead. When doing all of this, I have come to appreciate all the hard work necessary to be successful at any task, academic or athletic. And my time specifically on the baseball team has provided me with lifelong memories and relationships. The friendships I have made in a state so far away from home have helped me thrive and appreciate my college journey that much more. Having built these strong relationships, I will be leaving college with a national support network.
