Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I was initially recruited for swimming. I didn't know what I wanted in a school, so I was still looking into many other schools. There was an opportunity to come on a recruitment trip, and when I came, everyone was so welcoming. I had a really good time, and that's when I knew I wanted to come to Macalester.

What has your experience at Macalester meant to you?
I’ve met most of my closest friends at Mac.
