WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? 
The best class I've taken so hard here at Linfield is Organic Chemistry. I have really enjoyed the course material, and I liked the challenge it brought. This class brought me closer to my classmates due to how intense it is. Everyone is helpful to everyone because of how tough it is. 
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? 
The greatest inspiration in my life has been all my friends. I like to work hard and having their support makes me feel more confident when I'm competing. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN? 
The greatest lesson I've learned is to not get in your own head. It’s very easy to get consumed by something that isn't healthy or is no longer healthy. Taking that step back and reflecting on your thoughts and feelings is important for keeping a healthy relationship with what you love. 
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… 
My goals individually are to perform to the best of my ability and to not make excuses. That does not mean I won’t be giving myself grace. I understand that I am human and that progress isn’t linear. For my team, I want to help support and uplift every person that I can. I want everyone to know that I am in their corner and want only the best for them.
