WHAT’S THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD AND WHY? The best Linfield class I’ve taken is Economics of College Sports with Randy Grant.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? The greatest inspiration in my life has been my dad. My dad has always invested himself and his time to help me become a better person. He teaches me every day what it means to be kind, honest, and disciplined.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPAL OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... Don’t be scared to fail. You can’t succeed without failing. Failure leads to experience, which then leads to success.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... Win everything, on and off the field.
 
WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of the opportunities that it provides. I was looking to attend a small school with good academics and to be a part of a program with great coaching staff and teammates.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? I think with the opportunity to have not only students with similar interests but close teammates around me is gratifying. There is a big honor in being able to represent the school and team.

WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? As a student-athlete, I believe where I am unique is in how I will manage my time between both athletics and academics. I feel that I am very motivated to succeed.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I want to focus on business management, and I believe Linfield is helping me achieve this through their outstanding business program.
