Summary
I am currently progressing through a Physics M.S. program at Minnesota State University Mankato while also using up my Track and Field eligibility, left over from missed Covid seasons. I am balancing my master physics courses, working as a virtual SAT/ACT tutor, my graduate assistantship as a Lab TA, and being a full time varsity athlete. In four years of competing in the throwing events of track and field at Bates College, I was a two time DIII national qualifier, multiple time all-conference and all-region, and a team captain. This time in college sports, as well as years of high school and club sports, has taught me dedication to a team, the value of hard work, time management, and overall personal responsibility.
