WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD?
I chose Linfield for the men's soccer program and how tight-knit the school felt. I really was looking forward to being able to connect with the boys and find my group quickly. The class and school size was also such a plus for me.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU?
Being a student-athlete makes it feel like college will be a better experience as I get to go through the grind of classes, and then all the practices and games. It will make me feel more resilient which can grow into my future.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
I think sports have truly helped me become a more patient person rather than someone who loses control right away. It also has taught me how to work hard even when things aren't going my way.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?
I can see myself in the next ten years running Iron Man Triathlons and coaching soccer in small communities connecting kids to sports in general.
