WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I originally chose to attend Linfield because of all the opportunities. The main opportunity that was presented to me that drew me to Linfield was the dance team and I am grateful to be able to dance on this team throughout college. Everything else came after that. The campus is beautiful and there are so many classes to choose from. It also gave me to opportunity to double major which was important to me.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? To me, being a student-athlete is one of the most rewarding yet difficult things you can do through any form of education. It takes so much commitment and dedication in both your sport and in your classes. You are pushing yourself in so many ways so that you can not only be eligible to play your sport, but you can also excel.
 
HOW WAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Each sport I played growing up taught me the same lessons, whether I was in basketball, softball, Cross Country or Dance. I was always taught to be competitive with myself in order to continue to grow. Sports taught me how to set goals and work to achieve them, it taught me how to work with others and most importantly it taught me how to not give up.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I could see myself doing many different things. I could see myself working with kids, whether that be as a coach or as a teacher. I can see myself working somewhere in the entertainment industry, whether it be as an actress, a writer, a director, or an editor. I can also see myself working as a writer, maybe working on publishing another book or working for a newspaper. I have so many things that I want to do, that I don't see one specific thing that I could be doing in 10 years.
