WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of their exercise science major and historic baseball program.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means to me that I will strive in the classroom and on the field while representing Linfield's athletic programs with good character.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? In high school I played 3 sports while also maintaining my GPA above a 3.8. It took a lot of hard work and time management to balance school and sports. I feel my hard work and time management is what makes me a unique student-athlete. I will always try my best to strive in the classroom and on the field.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is to become a physical therapist. Having played sports my whole life I've became interested in physical therapy because of the experiences I've had with therapists after being injured. Linfield is helping me achieve it by preparing me for that career with the exercise science program.
