Macalester College Athletics

Career stats

How Macalester had prepared me for life after graduation:
Being a student-athlete at Macalester has taught me to be perseverant and see through whatever it is I am working on. Academics have taught me to problem solve, think both as an individual and in a group setting and appreciate different point of views from my own. Athletics in particular has helped to grow my competitive nature, work as a successful part of a team, and appreciate delayed gratification. All of these traits will help me when I face challenges in a business setting where I will need to work in teams, problem solve and be an optimistic, open minded person on a daily basis.
