My name is Kalyn Retterath and I grew up in Hazen, North Dakota. Throughout high school I worked at our local café and drug store, played in my church’s hand bell choir, and earned my black belt in Taekwondo. In 2010 I graduated high school and moved to Bismarck to attend Bismarck State College. I’m currently a junior seeking a degree in Information Processing and a second degree in Web Site Design and Development. I’m active in four different organizations at BSC, and hold officer positions in all four of them. I also play in my current church’s praise band and bell choir, and play in the band and jazz band at BSC. Next year I will continue my education and pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Management.
