Miss Magdalen Kleinrichert
Magdalen Kleinrichert is the 22-year-old daughter of Shane and Samantha Kleinrichert of Traverse City,
Michigan. As a 2022 graduate of St. Francis High School, she is entering her final year at Ave Maria School of
Law in Naples, Florida, after earning her bachelor's degree in Managerial Economics and Strategic Analysis on
an accelerated educational track.
She is actively involved in the legal community as a law clerk for a local Naples (but Traverse native!) estate planning attorney, a board member of the Women's Law Association, and a competitor in many oratorical
competitions, where she has consistently been recognized as a finalist. In her free time, she enjoys staying
active through pickleball and pilates with friends.
One of six children, Magdalen has an identical twin sister and four brothers-including identical twin brothers!
Each summer, she returns home to Traverse City to spend time on Lake Michigan. This summer, Magdalen is
gaining hands-on experience by interning with the impressive law firm, Smith & Johnson, while also serving at
Oaky's Tavern during the busy season. Her winter breaks are often spent skiing and hiking with her friends and
family.
After graduating in 2027, Magdalen plans to return to Michigan to practice law and intends to sit for both the
Michigan and Florida bar exams. She is very grateful for the opportunity to advocate for her hometown and
give back to the community that shaped her. Attending school in Florida has only strengthened her appreciation
for Northern Michigan's strong sense of community, the privilege of calling Traverse City home, and, of
course, fresh water!
