Hometown: Waunakee, Wis.
Major: Exercise Physiology
Minor: Psychology
Special admission programs: MAT Program
Expected graduation year: 2021

Activities/Involvement: I am currently the president of club softball and have been playing on the team since my freshman year. I also am a member of Habitat for Humanity, in the University Honors Program, and a mentor for the University Honor's Peer Mentorship Program.

Career goals: I currently hope to work as an athletic trainer at the college level (undecided on division and sport).

Why did you choose the College of Health Sciences at Marquette? Marquette offered everything I was looking for and made it into the perfect combination. I knew I wanted an undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology, and I knew I wanted a master's degree in Athletic Training - Marquette offers a 5-year MAT program and I get both degrees. Another beneficial part of this was that the program is direct admit, so I knew going into freshman year that I was in the program.

How did you pick your major/program? I knew I always wanted to work in the healthcare field, I just had to decide which profession. When I was growing up, I was always involved in at least one sport and I absolutely loved playing. I also had my fair share of injuries and would have interactions with athletic trainers frequently. That first exposed me to the profession and made me realize it's the perfect combination of sports and healthcare. Plus, now I get to help future generations of athletes like athletic trainers did for me.

What is your favorite spot on campus? This may not be the typical favorite place, but my favorite place on campus is Cramer. Between hanging out in the Cramer lounge with friends, studying for exams, doing unique activities in labs, and having pretty much every class there, I have enjoyed my time in that building and have learned so much.
