WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? The best class I have taken at Linfield is my current anatomy class. Anatomy is a very challenging and rewarding course that has hands on learning. My professor Daniel keeps class interesting each day and I am excited to learn more. 

WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? My greatest inspiration in my life is my parents because they have been there for me every step of the way. They are my biggest cheerleaders in life and in athletics. They inspire me to do my best in all aspects of life because I have seen all the hard work they have put into making their and my life so rewarding. 

THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... The greatest lesson I have learn while competing in athletics at Linfield has been to step out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid to try things you never thought you could. During the short time I have competed I have already made goals for myself that will help in all aspects of my life and I have made some of my closest friends. 

AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... As a Linfield-Student Athlete, my goals individually are to have fun and push myself for my last year of competitive swimming. My goal collectively for my team is to see all the hard work we put in each day to pay off for a great end of the season!
