WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield to put myself in an environment where I can surround myself with those who have similar interests and ambitions. The small school environment allows one to be a name instead of a number.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means I am able to compete and be a part of something bigger than myself. I enjoy the idea of representing a community with Linfield across my chest.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU AN INTERESTING STUDENT-ATHLETE? Growing up I always played basketball and tennis. I loved both of those sports and I had a strong passion to exceed in those fields. This is my first year ever running cross country, let alone running competitively. I am excited for this opportunity to test myself and represent Linfield College.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I enjoy communicating with people in every platform possible. I plan to graduate with a Journalism/Media studies degree in which I can get involved with Public Relations. Linfield as allowed me to quickly get involved on campus and apply my ambitions to real-life scenarios.
