Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
Macalester is a school filled with a variety of people coming from all different types of backgrounds, and yet we are able to foster a community driven by integrity, ambition, hard work and understanding. That's an exciting environment to be stepping into and I believe that over the rest of my college experience it will help shape me into a person that I'm proud to be.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester helped shape you as an individual?
My time as a student-athlete has taught me the value of hard work and the personal growth that comes along with it. At the same time, it's also taught me that soccer, or sport in general, is less of a centerpiece in life and more of a tool for personal development. I've learned how to lead, I've learned how to be humble, and I've learned how to smile in the face of adversity. Most importantly, I've learned not to take myself too seriously and that winning isn't everything.
