An interdisciplinary background: “Studying economics and international relations at Lake Forest College provided the kind of interdisciplinary learning that I wanted in order to focus on issues of sustainability. I've had so many great opportunities to intern and study abroad and live and work in Chicago while at Lake Forest, and it has really helped me refine my perspectives and focus on my passions in learning.”

An unexpected creative outlet: “My dad is a software engineer, and I always thought it was so boring. However, at Lake Forest, I got to try so many different things, and I ended up taking a computer science class and really liking it. I realized you can be so creative with code, and now I am on this path that I love and feel passionate about.”

A world opened: "What I've learned at Lake Forest College will surely follow me for the rest of my life, but the most important thing I think I'll take from my time here is the way this school opened up the world for me. My hometown is small and relatively sheltered; here I've been able to meet all kinds of people and see all kinds of things, and I'll always be grateful for that expansion of being. Not to mention the friends I've met here, who I hope to keep for the rest of my life."

A personal mission to unravel the mysteries of science: “When I was in fifth grade, my grandfather was unfortunately diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I went on this very long journey of trying to unravel the mysteries of science, and at Lake Forest College I continued to unravel those mysteries by working in a lab doing Parkinson's research. I did three years of hands-on research in the lab and presented my research at national conferences, which has prepared me for medical school.”

A voice for a team: “I’ve always enjoyed sports, and broadcasting allows me to stay connected and involved with the game I love most. There’s nothing like calling a game and being a part of a family, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have gotten my start at Lake Forest College.”
