Bio
Why Did You Choose St. Thomas?
I chose St. Thomas because of the great academics the university has to offer. The campus has a great atmosphere, offers many activities, and has that small campus feel right in the heart of a major city.
Academic Major: Business
Career Goal: I hope to be an attorney one day.
High School Athletics Highlights:
• 1st place in Class A Minnesota State Tournament doubles 2017 and 2018
• 3rd place in Class A Minnesota State Tournament singles 2019
• Team captain 2017-2019
• Started playing #1 singles for the team in 7th grade.
•Our team qualified for the state tournament every year I played (2014-2019).
Fun Fact:
I have a pet dog named Ace.
Family:
Daughter of Sue and Joe Palen
Younger Siblings: Elyse and Joseph
