WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best class I took at Linfield is The Principles of Economics. The professor was really helpful and nice, he also encouraged me to pursue a second major being economics. 

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME… At the beach with my friends. I always have a good time with them and they are fun to be around. 

THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…To focus on what you are doing, it doesn't matter what is going on on the other side of the court. You can only control what you do and to do things to the best of your ability. Don't give up.  

WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield athletic career is making a special bond with my teammates. I will always know that they will have my back and support me.
