PERSONAL INFORMATION

WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because it checked all the boxes. Excellent academics, check. A welcoming community, check. A beautiful campus that's easy to get around, check. The first time I stepped onto Linfield campus and heard about all the amazing opportunities and departments I knew I wanted to spend the next four years here.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means we get to wear our school's name on our back and represent the wildcats by doing what we love while also pursuing our educational dreams. It also means getting everyone involved. Getting students and faculty out to watch the games and support their very own Wildcats.
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? What makes me unique is my willingness to try anything. I apply my determination to my academics as well as my athletics.
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? Linfield offers a lot of classes that will prepare me to reach my desired career. During my undergrad studies, I am able to take a variety of science, psychology, and math classes that will prepare me for the medical college admission test.
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best class I have taken at Linfield so far is Lifespan Developmental Psychology. It was really interesting to learn how a child figures out the world and themselves.
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO…Hang out with my friends, paint and take pictures.
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD…The right mindset can lead to success and also focusing in on smaller goals to reach the big picture goal.
