WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY? The best class I've taken at Linfield was Ceramics with Cindy Hoskisson. I really enjoyed going through the whole process of making pottery. It was a nice change for me as I am a Finance major getting to try an art class.

WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? My greatest inspiration has been my parents. They have shown me how to be respectful, caring, and driven.

THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... The greatest principle I've learned is to enjoy every match and competition regardless of outcome. I spent my sophomore year out with injury and was itching to come back. It made me realize I need to enjoy every time I compete as a Wildcat as there are only a certain amount of times I will be able to.

AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... My goal individually is to get a national ranking and my team goal is to win conference.
