Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
The combination of the close-knit community of people that passed the vibe check and the location in the Twin Cities is what did it for me.

What has your experience at Macalester meant to you?
Coming to Macalester (and the swim team specifically) meant finding possibly the most supportive environment I’ve ever known.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester helped shape you as an individual?
Swimming at Mac has made me a better collaborator. Because practices are collective but races are usually still individual, I'm able to hold the big picture goals in my mind while pursuing my own individual best times in each swim.
