High School Honors: National Honor Society... All-Conference 2022... Honor Roll

Why Saint Mary's: I chose Saint Mary's College because I wanted a community to build relationships and receive a high level of academics while being at a small school. From the moment I started here in the fall, it has felt like home and has become one of the greatest and most special places to me.
