WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose Linfield to continue my dancing career. (I did cheer in high school because my high school didn't have a dance team. I was in a competitive studio from the age of 4-17.)
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? It's a great opportunity to be a student-athlete at college and it's an amazing experience as well. I am so thankful for every moment that I have this opportunity.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports has taught me so much including the value of being on a team, friendship, community, and leadership. There are so many other life lessons I've learned along the way, but these are the most important and the ones I value the most. Being on a sports team has helped me be the person I am today, and I hope that can continue being in the future.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I see myself out of nursing school with a Job at a hospital, continuing my dance career by dancing for a sports team of some sort. With a house somewhere in the Portland area but out of the metro area.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? The geography of wine. Very interesting and had great content listed.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? Greatest inspiration would have to be my oncologist, Susan Lindemulder. She taught me so much during my time with cancer and having chemotherapy.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… Always speak up for yourself when unsure of what’s happening.
