Character

Sigrid Koizar is one of the most humble, hard working, kind and generous people I have known. Sigi excels in everything she does because of her tireless work ethic. No mater the circumstances, she makes sure to get the work done. She is looked up to by her teammates, classmates and professors because of her character. People LOVE “Sigi” in Maine. Her graciousness with others is second to none and she always has time for an autograph or a picture - she never says no. She volunteers to help her teammates with their classes - even if it means she needs to stay up later for her own studies. She is selfless beyond compare. Sigi is the person I can always count on. She is responsible for not only herself, but also takes great pride and holding others accountable as well.
