Hi! My name is Lexie Bendigo, and I am a senior at BHSU! I am double majoring in psychology and human services and minoring in sociology. I grew up on a small family ranch on the Cheyenne River Reservation, but now I live in Spearfish, SD. After I complete my undergraduate degree, my goal is to attend graduate school and become a licensed trauma therapist. My hope is to be able to provide accessible and affordable trauma counseling to those in low-income and rural areas. I absolutely love coffee and trying different coffee shops and roasts! I love spending time with my fiancé, gymnastics, the outdoors, research, go-kart racing, Minecraft, and getting involved on campus and my communities!

Hi! My name is Madisyn, or Madi, whatever floats your boat. I am a senior at Black Hills State, majoring in Psychology and Human Services. After graduation I plan on taking a gap year before grad school as I am unsure what exactly I plan to go get my master's degree for. Ultimately, I want to do something with kids, they are by far my favorite group to work with. When I'm not doing homework, I enjoy spending time with friends, reading, going on hikes, watching movies, or honestly, scrolling on Tik Tok.
