WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because Coach Wilson seemed like a great coach and person, it was close to home, and a reputable academic institution.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a student athlete is an honor and a privilege, I have only been playing golf for about 4 years now and never thought I would be able to participate in collegiate athletics I am very excited and proud to be a Linfield student athlete.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports throughout my life has taught me a lot, golf specifically has taught me most of it. Through competing in golf, I've learned to be understanding of the ups and downs of life and to accept things as they are and focus on what's ahead.
