WHY LINFIELD? I am beyond excited to be a part of a small school environment with many great opportunities to grow as a student, an athlete, and a person!
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete is something I have always taken a lot of pride in and it was an opportunity I simply couldn't pass up being a part of here at Linfield.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I am very involved in leadership roles around my community. I am very excited to branch out, improve, and develop my leadership skills as I am thrust into a new environment.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETEICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… Injuries will occur, it’s a part of playing a violent game. People come and play at Linfield because of its culture but that same culture surrounds you with a support staff that encourages you to keep your head down through rehab to get back to the game you love.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND ATHLETICALLY ARE… Win a NWC championship.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I am unsure of what specifically my career focus is as of right now, but I know Linfield is going to assist me in finding my passions and getting me where I need to be.
