WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is to become a better person overall while getting my degree and setting myself up for success.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? The best class I've taken at Linfield is Sport Management, which I took last fall. I enjoyed this class because it introduced varied interesting topics every week. Starting from youth sports and how it has changed over the years, to college and the crazy shift we are seeing in today's time as NIL and paying athletes has become a norm.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SO INFLUENTAIL? The greatest inspiration is my life is my family. I have such a huge family presence and everything I do in the world I do for them, just as they have for me.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARN WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS HAS BEEN… The greatest lessons that I've learned at Linfield are consistency and hard work. Putting in the time day after day to reach your best physical and mental performance is not easy but is necessary to be successful.
 
AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… As a student-athlete my individual goal is to be the best teammate I can be and to lead by example. Throughout my years at Linfield I have had the chance to witness great leaders show me the way and now it's my turn to give back.

Team goals: Conference Championship & National Championship.
