Is there anything at St. Olaf that you look forward to pursuing more?
I can’t wait to have a chance to explore all of my hobbies, like art, writing, and music, in an academic setting. It’s the reason why I chose a liberal arts school, you get to do everything.
How has St. Olaf helped you develop your future plans?
Before coming here I didn’t have any idea what I wanted to do with my life, but after learning about many academic departments, speaking with my advisor, and narrowing down the subjects I enjoy, I’ve decided that I want to focus on Behavioral Economics-the study of why people spend and consume the ways they do.
How has the Hill helped you further a passion in your life?
I’m blessed to be continuing my athletic career here on the Women’s Volleyball Team. Volleyball has been such a huge part of my life for so long, it is truly an honor to continue to do what I love while representing my school.
