Studying Psychology and Management Studies at St. Olaf College. Why did you decide to serve with CoL? I decided to serve with CoL because I wanted to give back to the community that I grew up in and because it will allow me to make sure that education is the career path that I want to pursue. What do you plan to do after your year of service? I would like to teach in a foreign country or pursue my Masters in Education. What’s something you love about middle school students? Middle schoolers never fail to make me laugh! Click here to read profiles of more members currently serving in CoL! Follow Us Follow City of Lakes AmeriCorps on Facebook, Twitter and now Instagram!
