Auggie Athlete FAQs
Career Goal: Advocating on behalf of sustainability. 
Why did I choose to attend Augsburg? Augsburg felt like, and always will be, my home. 
Athletic Goal at Augsburg: My goal as a first year is to bond with my team and find fun ways to represent the Auggie athletic culture.
Biggest Thrill in Athletics: The feeling of taking my hairband out at the very end of the race and having the wind push back my hair as I’m sprinting to the finish line.
What differentiates you from teammates or other students? My look has always been oddly unique. I stand out and most crowds and love having that extra flare. Though that may seem like a little thing, It has helped me grow a confidence and self love that not only helps me as an athlete, but as a person. Most times I'm just called out as "the blonde one with tattoos".
What is a little known fact about yourself? I got into running because my mom said if I ran a 5k I’d get snacks afterwards.
Any interesting, non-athletic hobbies, talents or unusual facts about yourself? I drink La Croix, I say bubbler, I push on doors that say pull... and that's about it.
What are you most thankful for? The endless support from family and friends. I am always reminded that everything is love, everything is life.
Any other personal tidbits? I am proud to be an Auggie and can't wait to get after it this season.
