WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose because the environment that Linfield has is such an upbeat and positive place. The education that they offer and their emphasis on success is greater than most of the Universities I looked at.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? It means working every day to become a better athlete, student, teammate, and overall work to have the best experience that you can. For me personally I was a walk on, which meant I came here for academics but now that I have the chance, I can't wait to dedicate time to playing lacrosse as well and watching myself grow.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? It has made me realize that the only true way to work as a team and succeed is to uplift each other and maintain a positive environment when practicing. Everyone should help everyone.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? In 10 years, I see myself teaching, and hopefully with a happy family. I hope that I will look back on college with no regrets and that I can always recall the countless memories that I made at Linfield.
