PERSONAL INFORMATION
Majoring in international relations and economics.
Daughter of Carolyn and Pat Patterson.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN? International Economics. It was taught by a German guy and it was very interesting even if his teachings were unorthodox.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? My mom because she's awesome.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… Don't stress the big stuff, stress the small stuff because that is what will help you handle the big stuff. If we lose, it is not any singular person's fault. It's everyone's responsibility to help each other out and win, if we only blame one singular person for the loss, we ignore all of the other opportunities to get ahead.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… Drop time in the 200 butterfly and to have fun with my teammates.
