WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because of the sense of community. Everyone I met was very positive and kind and I could tell they had good character. The campus was beautiful and when I visited it was obvious that the faculty cared about their students. My coaches were very motivating and personable so I knew Linfield would be the right place for me.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a Student-Athlete to me means that I am able to put my all into any endeavor I put my mind to. It proves to me that I can set goals and achieve them. Having the opportunity to put full focus into multiple experiences challenges me and is all the more satisfying when I can accomplish certain things in the different environments.
 
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? Anatomy because it has been very applicable to the field I want to pursue in occupational therapy!
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports has made me a better person because it has taught me how to show respect, empathy, and how to become a leader. Through sports I have made many connections with different people, and it has allowed me to see a different perspective in many peoples' lives. I have also learned how to maintain a strong work ethic and how to be a role model.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? My mom has been the most inspirational person in my life because she is always there for me every step of the way.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE competing IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… It is important to be strong mentally and know everything happens for a reason!
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? In ten years, I see myself taking the values I have learned from school and sports and instilling them into my career. I will have a strong work ethic and show compassion in my job and will be an influential person in my community. I hope to become a Physical or Occupational therapist, being able to offer advice and give back.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… To play for each other in every game and compete in practices to make each other better!
