WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? Great education. Tight knit community. A place I can see myself grow every day.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? It’s a great honor to have an opportunity to get a great education and keep playing the sport I love.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? Sports Analytics with Damian Williams. It was an opportunity to delve into sports programs throughout the west coast for the sport of baseball and make decisions based on what we valued from a statistical analysis perspective for our "team" for the class.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? It helped me to grow as an individual and helped me to understand the purpose of serving the community. It also helped me to grow as a leader and be an example for others.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… The greatest principle I've gained from Linfield sports is patience. Whether that is on the field or off the field, patience allows you to process situations and make the best decisions.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? Working in professional or collegiate sports. I want to follow in my dad's footsteps (he is Athletic Director at University of Portland).
