WHY LINFIELD?
I choose Linfield for its reputation of success in both academics, as well as athletics. The strength of the business program was very important in my search for a college. Growing up, I attended many of the Linfield softball camps which made me sure that this was the program I wanted to play for.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE MEAN TO YOU?
Being a Student-Athlete means being a leader on campus on and off the field. Being part of the softball team means living up to the reputation of integrity and grit from the players that preceded me.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE?
Being a student-athlete is an honor and being part of the softball team makes it all the more special. Softball has a unique reputation as one of the hardest working teams on campus and that is something I am most proud of to be part of.
 
WHATS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD?
As a senior, I have recently accepted a job at Kroger as an Assistant Buyer in General Merchandise. I found out about a number of internship opportunities from the Linfield career center and was supported throughout the whole process from the career specialists and my professors. Linfield has given me so much knowledge and so many opportunities for success.
