Education:

I attended Wahlert High School and graduated in 2005.  I was a member of the National Honor Society and graduated in the top of my class.  While at Wahlert, I was involved in basketball, swimming, and soccer.  I currently attend Wartburg College where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business and a minor in Spanish.  In 2005, I took advantage of the opportunity to study abroad in Mexico for May term.  While in Mexico, I attended school in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  I lived with a Mexican family which allowed me to totally immerse myself in the Spanish culture.  I am also a member of the Wartburg Women's Soccer Team.
