I am proud to be a Wildcat because: of what it stands for; hard-work, dedication, loyalty, inclusion, excellence, compassion, understanding, and love.
What do you enjoy most about being a student-athlete at St. Catherine?: my team and the safe space we create for one another.
I chose to attend St. Kate's because: I liked the atmosphere and the empowerment of women!
