It was an environment in which I would be challenged academically, involved socially, have plenty of opportunity to serve the community around me, and simultaneously be able to compete and play basketball. Which, all together, constitute an incredible opportunity.

Being a student-athlete has challenged me to prioritize and manage my time effectively, as well as being an integral part of the experience at Macalester and the relationships I've built.
