Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I chose Macalester because of the diverse student body, the small liberal arts school education, the competitive soccer team, and the location. I really came to appreciate Macalester when I first stepped onto campus. I saw  Macalester's values of internationalism resonating throughout the friendly student body and I knew I had found the right place.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
Student-athletes at Macalester must balance high demands on and off the field. The quality and quantity of work that I am expected to produce in both settings is preparing me for life after graduation. The team has improved my productivity in groups and has bolstered my ability to identify and solve problems very quickly.
