WHY LINFIELD? I became attached to the campus atmosphere, and all of the people that I met on my visits were super friendly and made me feel right at home.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete is a great privilege. Athletics has been something I’ve been involved in my entire life and something that is a part of my lifestyle. Being able to have the opportunity to continue playing the game I love means the world to me.


WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? One thing that is unique about me is my work ethic, not only on the field but in the classroom as well. I will always work to do the best that I can in school.
