WHY LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because of its student athlete atmosphere and its great educational programs.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means that I am able to continue playing the sport I love while getting an education which is everything. Playing a sport for the school I attend helps keep me motivated and involved in the school.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE?
I slide on hard court more than most people.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I would like to help run or own some kind of vacation center or theme park or hotel and I am hoping that Linfield’s management program can help me get there.
 
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best Linfield class I have taken is Economics of College Sports with Randy Grant. Professor Grant is always available to help, I liked the topics we covered in the class, and we went on a cool field trip to Portland as a class.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME…Snowboarding, hiking, playing pickleball and spikeball.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…It is not over till it is over, keep fighting.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career thus far was me and my doubles partner, Will Worth, beating the No. 2 doubles team of Pacific.
