WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? In all honesty, I can't think of a single best class I've taken at Linfield. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the classes I've taken here at Linfield, however, every class I've had with psychology professor Yanna Weisberg has been such a joy. She is so passionate and energetic about psychology, and she truly cares for each and every one of her students. Her classes are always fun and memorable, and she refuels my own drive and passion for psychology!
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME…Working out, cooking fun new meals, learning Tik Tok dances, reading, binge watching Netflix shows and hanging out with friends and family!
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…It is important to stand up for yourself and your teammates even when it means walking away from a sport you love. I've also learned the power of resiliency and how to bounce back after a loss or when faced with adversity. Linfield Volleyball has truly taught me mental toughness and given me personal strength that I have carried with me outside of the sport.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield athletic career thus far was when former Coach Shane Kimura, came and coached us for two matches and we won at home against Whitman. It was truly a memorable night filled with happiness and lots of emotions, considering we had been through a lot and had such a rough season before that. I will never forget that night!
