WHY LINFIELD??I chose Linfield because of the small classes and the friendly faculty.

WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD?
?My career focus is to work as a teacher and going to graduate school after Linfield. 

WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? Survey of Psychology with Dr. Ray. We did several in-class experiments and activities to demonstrate different theories, which made the class really engaging and memorable. 

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO… Hike, read, eat and spend time with family & friends. 

THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD IS… Patience is key. I’ve battled through injury rehab for the past year and a half without knowing when I’d be able to compete again. Learning that commitment without knowing when it would pay off has helped me work through the COVID-19 pandemic. 

WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD ATHLETIC CAREER THUS FAR? Seeing my teammates break the 20-minute mark in the 5K for the first time, their excitement and joy has helped to remind me why we put in so much hard work.
