WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?
For me, it was my Investments class. This has been the most influential and impactful course I've taken at Linfield because of how much real-world knowledge I gained. It opened my eyes to how the financial world works, from understanding businesses and analyzing stocks and bonds, to exploring hedge funds, mutual funds, and key investing principles. I learned how to think critically about risk, returns, and long-term financial planning, and it sparked a genuine interest in managing money wisely and potentially pursuing a career in finance or entrepreneurship.
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?
The greatest inspiration in my life is my mother. She is my motivation and my "why." Her constant support, sacrifices, and unconditional love have shaped who I am today. She has always put the needs of our family before her own and worked tirelessly to give me and my siblings a better life. Her strength, selflessness, and care have shown me what true dedication looks like. Without her, I wouldn’t be on the path I’m on today, and I’m forever grateful for everything she’s done for us.
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...
The greatest principle or lesson that I've learned while competing in athletics at Linfield has been the importance of discipline and resilience. Whether in practice, during tough losses, or while balancing academics and competition, I’ve learned that consistent effort, a strong mindset, and the ability to bounce back from setbacks are what truly define success. These lessons have not only made me a better athlete but also a more focused and driven person in all areas of life.
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE...
As a Linfield student-athlete, my goals individually and collectively for my team are to be someone my teammates can always count on, both on and off the field. Individually, my goal is to earn a spot on the Northwest Conference First Team by consistently performing at a high level and pushing myself to improve every day. Collectively, my ultimate goal for our team is to win the Northwest Conference. I believe that with hard work, unity, and a strong team culture, we can achieve that together.
