WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because I feel that this is the best place to further my education and sports career.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means being able to compete physically and mentally, furthering my education and athletics to another level and being in a community that I will enjoy.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I am humble, always willing to do more, set my goals high, and do things to the best extent I can on the field and in the classroom.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? My papa Su’a or known as Iese. Being the third child out of ten. He was the first to come to Hawaii to start a new life and a better one for his family. Being a master of many trades, he provided for his family of six children. Regardless of the hours spent at work or at home working on new projects he made sure he provided for not only his family, but those back in his village Lefaga (Located in Western Samoa), and for his community (Poamoho Camp). Other than being a hard-working man, he was also a man of faith. Putting God first in everything he did, he made sure to keep his relationship with God strong as well with his children.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… From Coach Smith, being masters of our trade and to be committed to the hard work. Be the man that put the team above themselves and someone that is dedicated to the process.
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, WHAT ARE YOUR INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM GOALS? Win.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I love being able to major in something I love and be as close to sports as I always dreamed of, and I love being able to learn more about the human body and how sports can help or damage it in many ways to help keep the body healthy and prevent injuries.
