Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I did an overnight here and it just felt right.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
I've had access to many opportunities to experience life outside of Mac. It's been the best of both worlds, as Macalester provides lots of support for student-athletes to balance athletics and academics. I've had the chance to intern for MN Representatives and create connections that will prepare me for success after graduation.
