WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because it was the best fit for me academically.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete is very rewarding being able to play sports and do well in school.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I think that I work hard, and I was not just gifted in the sport that I do.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? After my time at Linfield, I want to be an athletic trainer.
 
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best Linfield class I have taken is Applied Guitar. Pamela Goldsmith was an amazing professor and grew my guitar skills more than I thought they could be grown. It was a real honor getting to have a one on one class with a professional in the field that I have loved since I was a little kid.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO…Play guitar and hanging out with friends.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...Discipline, learning how to keep working and stay at something to finally achieve your goal.
