I'm proud to be a Wildcat because:
My teammates and I work hard and support each other so we can become the best athletes and students we can be.
I chose St. Catherine because: St. Kate's was my best option for pursuing physical therapy; after visiting campus and meeting my future coaches and teammates I was excited to become a wildcat. I also love the beautiful campus with its rich and amusing history.
What do you enjoy most about being a student-athlete at St. Kate's?: I love going to practice every day and spending a couple hours with my teammates, who are also some of my best friends. No matter what else happens in a day, I know practice will make my day more positive, and classes seem more manageable.
