Krista Trefren
Hometown: Hotchkiss, CO
Interests, Clubs, and Sports: Volleyball, Fencing, Crew, SAO, The Aviation Program, Green Life, JSA, Real Talk, Youth Group, Catholic Choir, Pipes and Drums, LCA, Model UN, GSI, A Capella
Volunteer Activities: LCA. During Spring Breaks traveling to third world countries and getting immersed in the culture along with meeting students from schools there and teaching them about our leadership programs.
Favorite Class: Chemistry
Favorite Place to Study: The library, right by the window facing the lake.
Favorite aspect of Culver: I love the tight knit community of support and encouragement at Culver.
Role Model: Phoebe Hall - Alumni who now attends Williams. The salutatorian last year.
Top 3 goals for this school year: Go to India with the Spring Break program and establish a long lasting bond and tradition between Culver Academies and Christel House India. Become a varsity athlete in at least two sports. Learn how to play the bagpipes better and begin learning how to play the violin.
My favorite quote that embodies my Culver experience thus far:
“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost
