Personal:

My proudest moment in my career is beating the guys a year older than us in the intramural championship our sophomore year- legendary upset.

I am a accounting major with a minor in economics. With this major, I hope to work corporate finance or financial planning job while working towards my series 7 & series 63 certifications or CFP exam. Still figuring everything out! After graduation I might pursue a year long volunteer opportunity right out of college and then find myself working in the Twin Cities area. I also plan to dominate men’s league while my fitness is still decent.

I chose St. John’s because of the beauty and ambiance of the campus, the quality education and the lifelong friends I knew I would meet. The exposure to the Johnnie alum network weighed heavily on my decision as well. Johnnies help Johnnies!

It is tough to decide what is my funniest memory while being on the team because I always seem to be laughing around the guys, but my freshman year LandShark Cup in was in 6” of snow was incredible. The ridiculous things people were wearing to play that day was something I will never forget.
