WHY LINFIELD? I fell in love with the campus, the coaches were great, and when I got to hang out with the team it felt like a natural transition that I was not expecting. I was also pretty unsure about my major and I saw that Linfield had sports management as an option which seemed perfect for me.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means succeeding not only on the field, but in the classroom as well.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU AN INTERESTING STUDENT-ATHLETE? I feel that personally I'm very real with every person I meet.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? Linfield is helping me get through the business world that surrounds sports and while I know it’s going to take years and years of hard work my ultimate goal is to become some sort of GM or assistant GM of a team. However, if that does not work my intended major has many more options career wise.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY TIME…Hanging out with friends at the river or watching something on Netflix and Hulu.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…Hard work trumps natural ability. If you work hard and don’t take shortcuts, you will be rewarded.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD ATHLETIC CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career was being able to travel with the team as a freshman and beating Whitworth in overtime at Whitworth.
