Personal: Kaylie Sue Nelson. ... Applied human biology major, psychology minor.

Reason she chose SPU: "I was initially drawn to the class sizes and the professor / student ratio that SPU had to offer. After visiting the school, I fell in love with the campus as well as the community. I also knew I wanted to work in health care and was blown away by all SPU did to help their students get into graduate programs after undergrad. After talking to Coach Busey and meeting the team, I could not picture myself going to college anywhere else. I knew SPU was the right fit for me."
