WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because it has a great exercise science program and great cross country and track program.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means being able to keep your grades up while playing sports and keeping yourself healthy, not only physically but mentally.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU AN INTERESTING STUDENT-ATHLETE? Student-athletes are more well-rounded. They have a variety of friends from different groups of people and are able to multi-task between school and sports. In schooling, at least in my experience, sports keep you motivated to get things done on time and to be focused.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career interest is something in the realm of health. I want to help people become their very best selves. With the help of Linfield's great exercise science program, I will be able to achieve that goal.

WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? My best class at Linfield was Nutrition because I loved the professor and the subject.

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO…Hang out friends, going to church and being a plant mom.

THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD IS…Unity is the key to doing well when competing.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD ATHLETIC CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career was racing under 20 minutes (19.51) in a 5K!
