WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? 
I chose to come here because of the smaller community, and higher education being offered.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? 
It means finding a balance between school and sports, and learning to properly manage your time.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? 
It has shaped my personality and social skills positively.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? 
I can't really see that far into the future, and to be honest, I can't even see that far in general with my glasses.
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?
The best class that I’ve taken at Linfield would be New Testament. I like this class because the content was very interesting and the professor did a great job by making the class very fun and engaging, while at the same time having us get things done.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...
The greatest lesson I have learned while competing in athletics is, “stop waiting for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain”. No matter how hard it gets and how down things may seem, learning and adapting to your situation gets a lot more done and pushes you much farther than just giving up and hoping it will pass when things get hard.
