Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I chose to attend Macalester because of the opportunities that come with living in the Twin Cities. Being so close to two major cities, there is no shortage of things to do. Not to mention the internships and career opportunities found here as well. I also wanted to be somewhat close to home, and Macalester is only a short drive from home. Lastly, I chose Macalester because of the great coaching and academic staff that wanted me here, and they really emphasized how much they valued me.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester helped shape you as an individual?
My student athlete experience at Macalester has shaped me into a disciplined and well-rounded individual. I've learned that learning is not a linear process, and that setbacks can often open the doors necessary for progress. I have also learned a lot about the process of learning itself, and that I know that I have a lot of growth left to do.
