PERSONAL INFORMATION
Son of Brett J. Lemire, D.C. and Nancy L. Gambelli-Lemire, D.C.
Majoring in mathematics, with a track in data science.
Attended Sacramento City College, Cosumnes River College and American River College prior to Linfield.
 
WHY LINFIELD? I heard about Linfield through a fellow swimmer and good friend, also from Sacramento.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? My experience as a student-athlete at Linfield has been a very special one, as I have been able to thrive in a supportive environment that encourages success both in competition and in the classroom.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? One of the most important attributes of a student-athlete is time management, and I feel that ever since transferring to Linfield, I have been able to compartmentalize my schedule, and be able to get the best out of swimming and my studies as a Mathematics major. Also, being a student-athlete, in general, has made me a much more well-rounded person, and has taught me essential skills (such as time management, and maintaining a good work ethic) that are important in all areas in life.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I am still unsure where exactly I want to take the Mathematics major. However, with that being said, I do feel that my time at Linfield has helped me to venture into and explore new areas of study, particularly those in the realm of data science. Also, being independent at Linfield has helped me to improve my interactive/social skills with people, and has made me genuinely appreciate helping others.
