Personal: Daughter of Donny and Kim Chmiewlewski. Plans to study sonography at St. Kate's. 

Why I chose St. Kate's: I initially chose St. Catherine University because of the Sonography program but quickly fell in love with the beautiful campus. I adore how St. Kate's is in the cities but feels secluded and community-like. I feel that my values and beliefs closely align as well. I am very grateful for the opportunity to play the sport I love at the college level.

What do you enjoy most about being a student-athlete at St. Catherine?: My favorite thing about being a student-athlete is the many connections that I have already made with my teammates, which makes me excited for when the season starts. I also enjoy how St. Kate's works with the athletes to succeed on the court, as well as thrive in the classroom as a student.
