I chose St. Catherine University because: The community and opportunities pulled me in. When I toured the school and met my dance coach and some of the students, I immediately felt drawn to the life and inclusivity. I also loved seeing the sonography labs and classrooms.

What do you enjoy most about being a student-athlete at St. Kate's? I don't know yet, but I can't wait to find out! At my last school, dance was never considered part of the athletics program so I cannot wait to see what this is like.
