WHY LINFIELD?
The reason why I chose to attend Linfield is because I felt like I would be a good fit for the Men's Soccer and Exercise Science Programs.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD AND WHY?
HHPA 184- prev/care: athletic injuries because I got to learn about many different athletic injuries and the mechanism of the injury.
WHO HAS BEEN YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION IN LIFE? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?
My dad because he pushes me everyday to be the best version of myself and I would not have been able to overcome all the challenges I have faced without him.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE SO FAR?
Hanging out with all my teammates.
MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE...
To consistently improve as a player, student, and teammate while helping our team climb the ranks of the NWC.
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU?
Being a student athlete means that I will be able to compete competitively in soccer and learn how to better develop time management and organization skills.
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
It has taught me to be a better communicator, learn how to work as a team and how to guide and lead members of my team.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?
I hope to be working successfully as a Physical Therapist and possibly owning my own practice.
