Hometown: Woodbury, Minn.

I am busy applying to grad schools all across the country with the goal of becoming a professional opera singer. This summer, I was a part of the Mill City Summer Opera production of Sweeney Todd — my second production with them after doing The Daughter of the Regiment with them last summer. I keep myself busy at Gustavus, being a part of the Gustavus Choir, Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, Gustavus Jazz Lab Band, and the all-male a capella group G Sharp. The rehearsals can be daunting at times, but my love for music keeps me going!
