WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because it had a good balance of the things I was interested in and an affordable cost, also out of the few schools I was able to visit, Linfield left the largest impression on me.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means I can represent the school in more than just my enrollment and it also allows me to make more connections and get adjusted to college life better.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I tend to look at my sports in a more team-based way; although running seems kind of like a solo sport at first, I think teamwork plays into it just as much as it would with a more conventional sport.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I'm leaning towards a career in environmental science, but I'm still not 100% sure yet; thankfully at Linfield I'm not required to choose a major immediately, so I can explore different options I might be interested in.
