WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of the competitiveness of the softball program. I want to compete and have fun doing it which is why I chose the Linfield softball program over any other program. My cousin that is graduating this year, played football and talked highly of Linfield and my mom who is an alum loved the school as well. I also chose Linfield because of the home-like atmosphere it has and the spirit that the students have for the school. On top of all of the positivity, the education it provides is top of the line and I know that when I am done with my school, I will have gotten the best education I could get.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means the world to me as I have the opportunity to play the sport I love while also getting a good education. I am so grateful to have the chance to learn not only from my coaches and professors but my teammates and peers as well.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I have an older brother who has a severe disability. He cannot play a sport nor get a higher education so when I play I am not just playing for myself and my team but for my brother as well. I am very driven to be the best I can be for him; my mindset is he can't so I need to.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I am majoring in exercise science. My ultimate goal is to become a physical therapist because of the physical challenges my brother faces every day. Linfield is helping me achieve this goal by providing an awesome education while also giving me the opportunity to compete in the sport I love.
