PERSONAL INFORMATION
Majoring in nursing.
Also competes as a member of the Linfield track and field team.
 
WHY LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because it's near my family. I also liked the campus when I came to visit. Moreover, they hosted an MLI MEChA Conference, which intrigued me.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete gives me an opportunity to do what I love and still study at the same time. Running is my outlet when I'm having a bad day or just feeling a little anxious. It always manages to make me feel better.
 
WHAT’S NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? For right now, I want to be a registered nurse. Linfield is helping me achieve this by having a great nursing program.
