I’m incredibly honored to have my story featured in the Summer Issue of the University of Minnesota Alumni Magazine!
Fun fact: I received my degree from the U of M in Vocal Performance with the intention of becoming an opera singer!
The beautifully written story by Ellen Ryan documents my journey from childhood to now. I read it aloud to my parents last Sunday and had to choke back tears a few times because they are such an important part of my story, and I am grateful for all the love and support they have given me my whole life.
I’ve been waiting to share this until the issue was online, so if you want to read it, you can! https://www.minnesotaalumni.org/stories/saddle-up
Thank you, Ellen and the University of Minnesota Alumni Association, for this feature! And thank you, Alyssa Smolen Photography, for the beautiful photo of Fritzie and me that was used in the article.
