Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I was looking for a close knit and inclusive community that would help further my academic and athletic goals.

What has your experience at Macalester meant to you?
Macalester is an environment where I feel encouraged to grow and change as I explore the world both physically and academically. It is a place where such growth is accepted as a natural part of becoming a “full person,” and results in a community of thoughtful, kind people who want what’s best for one another. To feel included in this community has been a delight.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
Being part of a team has taught me what leadership actually is and has given me the opportunity to practice that leadership every day. As a result of my experiences on the team I feel more confident in my own interpersonal skills and my decision making and critical thinking skills even in stressful situations.
