WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because I wanted to play two sports that I love while receiving a quality education. I also love Oregon and wanted to return to the state that I grew up in.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means I get the opportunity to continue playing the sports I love while representing my school.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports has shown me how to be a part of a team. I’ve learned that sometimes, even if something is hard, you do it anyway for the good of the team. This makes me a better person because I am putting the team’s needs before my own.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? In 10 years, I see myself working as a physical therapist. I plan to stay on the West Coast and own a dog.
