WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of the great education and nursing program as well as the ability to participate in sports.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means being able to compete in something that we love while still receiving an amazing education.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I have always been a multi-sport athlete and always like to try new things to learn something new and learn new life lessons. My freshman year I completed the Newport marathon and finished 3rd in my age group while also competing in track. My sophomore year I tried lacrosse for the 1st time and joined the Linfield lacrosse team!
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is nursing, and Linfield has taught me the importance of hard work and determination.
 
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? I loved physiology because you get a better understanding of why and how your body works in certain ways.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO…Hike, watch movies and spend time with family and friends.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD IS…To never give up.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD ATHLETIC CAREER THUS FAR? Getting to train and compete with my friends every day and know that they will always have my back!
