Is there anything at St. Olaf that you look forward to pursuing more?
I’d like to connect with more students authors.
How has St. Olaf helped you develop your future plans?
I came to St. Olaf interested in becoming a nurse, but after publishing my first novel, Silver Scars, I reached out to a former St. Olaf student who became a successful author and he gave me direction in my writing career.
How has the Hill helped you further a passion in your life?
The networking integrated into the St. Olaf community is astounding. No matter what English career I find myself researching there is always a former student or Ole who knows of someone who I can reach out to. There are even connections on campus that are helping me grow as an author — the novel I wrote will soon be in the Bookstore!
