How did Grove City College prepare you for life after college?

Grove City prepared me for post-college life by providing a platform where I could not only pursue my passions for language, softball, service, music, and faith, but also learn how to manage my time and make the most of the opportunities God set in front of me. Experiencing His faithfulness day in and day out--in the big and little things--inspired me to be more faithful over my to-do lists and relationships, and to trust Him more wholeheartedly as He directed my steps. Now as a full-time employee, I'm so grateful for the experiences and lessons that shaped my perspective and strengthened my confidence to tackle the challenges life throws at me.

Who was your greatest influence or mentor as a student and why?

One of the people who influenced me the most was Coach Chelle Fuss, who took me under her wing as a freshman on the softball team and pushed me to overcome adversity both on and off the field. She also challenged me to be a better player and teammate, and to ground my identity in Christ.

What did you treasure most about your experience at Grove City College?

A deep sense of belonging permeated my experience, mainly thanks to the incredibly gifted, driven, and godly people who helped make this place home. Some of my fondest memories come from conversations I had with friends, professors, and coaches--over breakfast, after class, in the dugout--as we encouraged and challenged each other through the ups and downs of life. This community was and is truly amazing.
