WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? 
The women's swim team interested me and Linfield's academics.
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?
My Personality Psychology class has been the best thus far because it really made me dive deeper into my psychology major and it was super interesting to learn about personality disorders.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...
To be kind to yourself in success and failure. I struggle a lot with my mental health so competing is difficult for me sometimes, but I’ve learned to go easy on myself and be okay with whatever outcome occurs.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE...
To be as successful as we can be and work together as a team in order to do so.
