WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I wanted to be at a smaller school where there are lots of opportunities to be successful and be a part of a close-knit community. I chose Linfield basketball because I wanted a family atmosphere, where everyone is invested in getting better and pushing each other to be the best they can be.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a student athlete means being committed, I'm committed to my academics and my sport, and I'm committed to being successful at both. Im aware that I'm a part of something bigger than myself so how I carry myself and what I accomplish is a representation of the school and my sport.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? I’ve learned practically every lesson in life from sports so far, I think participating in athletics puts you in positions to exercise various internal and external challenges, that push you to see things through different lenses and allows you to really dig deep into who you are and what you stand for. And because of the lessons I’ve learned through sports I feel confident to take on future challenges because of what I’ve been able to build over the years.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I honestly don't really know where I’ll be in 10 years, I hope doing something that I love and am passionate about!
