WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of the winning culture and family atmosphere that you can feel when you walk on campus. I am proud to call Linfield my home for the next few years.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN? I loved my Living in a Media World class because it was fascinating to learn about how the Media has taken over.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION? My Mother. She works extremely hard at everything she does and will always do what she thinks is best for the people she loves.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete gives me a sense of pride and honor to be able to call myself a Linfield student-athlete. To be a leader and not a follower and to be someone people can respect.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I have pretty diverse interests. I love football but I also love Star Wars. I can fit into any crowd and be comfortable, and have fun.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE I’VE LEARNED SINCE PARTICIPATING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD… To not give up. No matter how hard things can get and how much you might want to call it quits, don’t ever do it.
 
AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM GOALS ARE… My goal this year is to play in my first collegiate game and I want to win the National Championship with my boys.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is to obtain a sport management degree and a coaching minor, so that I can continue working in the sports world, because it is what I love.
