 My name is Makayla Rice. I am the Interpretive Park Naturalist at Guzbury Falls State Park. I work for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in parks and trails. So my role as a naturalist for the DNR is very multifaceted. So as a state park we are kind of the interface for users and nature. I interpret nature, what's going on at the park, what you may see as a visitor and kind of put that into historical context or ecological context. My mom said, you're going to interview these schools because you're going to be spending the next four years here. And so I kind of took it like, what does this school have to offer me? And it was the personalized environment. People were so friendly and I connected with a professor that was doing research that was really interesting to me. The transition into college came at a really important time in my life as I was developing and figuring out who I wanted to be internally and then how I wanted to show up in the world. And Gustavus gave me a lot of time and resources to think about who I wanted to be when I hear the word gusty or are you a gusty or I'm a gusty is just this sense of connectedness and genuineness, compassion. And it's not necessarily the fact that these gusties are doing X, Y and Z, but we want the best for other gusties. Now those people are with me wherever I go, wherever I work, wherever I travel.
