What made you want to join the Golden Bears?
"I committed to Gustavus, but it wasn’t a good fit so I reached out to schools nearby. I was then invited to take a tour at CSP and committed on the same day. I wanted to join the Golden Bears because of their welcoming community and successful program."
What's a memorable experience you've had at CSP?
"Being a part of a full student section for the regional volleyball game vs. Wayne State last year. I think the community is special because it’s diverse and the perfect size to build relationships."
How is CSP helping you reach your goals?
"I’m able to build relationships with my professors and my coaches which helps me perform on and off the field. These adults are always open and welcoming for conversation. They push me to be my best."
Is there a faculty or staff member who has stood out to you, and why?
"I've loved all my professors so it’s hard to pick one, but I’d choose Jennifer Myers who teaches KHS courses. She always comes to class with a positive attitude and teaches in a way that's interactive and hands-on for the class. It's an enjoyable experience to be in her classes."
