WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because of obviously the women's basketball program but also the amount of internships and extracurricular activities for business majors. Also, the connections when it comes to getting jobs after college in the business world. And another reason was the campus- it’s not too big but not too small!
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means the most to me! Ever since I was growing up I wanted to play basketball at the next level after high school, and now I get to do that. Also, being able to be to play for a academically challenging school means that I can do both, the schooling and the sport.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports has made me a better person by being more resilient and having a certain toughness when it comes to anything. Also, my work ethic has tremendously improved because of sports, because I know if I want something I have to work for it.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I have no idea where I see myself in 10 years. Hopefully working for Nike and through that collaborating with a sports team or whole sports league in many different ways.
