College Activities:

• Dance Team: One of the many reasons I chose to become a Bennie was because it gave me the opportunity to continue dancing and performing during my college career. Performing in front of nearly 20,000 fans in Clemens Stadium as a senior for Tommie Johnnie is one of my favorite memories from campus!
• Study Abroad: Taking the plunge and choosing to spend a semester in London, England was one of the best decisions I ever made as a college student. This particular program offered an international internship component where I was matched with a non-profit organization that promotes positive mental health through music and art.
• Theater: I took a theater make up class as a sophomore and was the lead for makeup, hair and wig design for the spring Musical “Urinetown”, my senior year. I had a blast working behind the scenes and getting to know the cast and crew.
• Volunteer Work : I spent two years volunteering at the VA medical center in St. Cloud. What started as a requirement for experiential learning turned into a weekly activity that gave me the chance to connect with members of our community outside of CSB+SJU.
• Teacher’s Assistant: I was a TA for my Academic Advisor as a senior for Research Methods. Connecting with other students and helping them achieve success was inspiring and allowed me to gain valuable experience.

Fun Facts:

• Studying abroad definitely got me hooked on traveling! I have been to England, Wales, Turkey, Sweden, Poland, Norway, the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas and St. John’s of the US Virgin Islands.
• After college, my study abroad roommate and I got matching tattoos of the geographical coordinates of our London flat!
• I get together with my friends at least once a month for game night! We often play board games, cards, jackbox TV or poker.

Favorites:

• Coffee, Cats and Crocs. If you ain’t crocin’, you ain’t rockin’.
