WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? 
I chose to attend Linfield for many reasons. The support athletically and academically is amazing. I love the tight-knit community that Linfield has and how I can see myself grow every day. I found a school that I love where I'm also able to play the sport that I love.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU?
Being a student-athlete at Linfield means a lot to me. Getting the opportunity to continue my education while playing the sport that I love is an honor.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
Participating in sports has taught me essential life lessons. I've grown as an individual and learned how to be a team player. I've made life-long friendships and connections that I will cherish forever.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? 
In 10 years, I see myself working at a sports marketing company. I also hope to still be involved in the lacrosse community in some way.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN? 
The best class I’ve taken so far at Linfield was Business Law 1. I loved the class material and how engaging our professor was. I constantly use what I learned from that class in my everyday life and I’m excited to take that with me into my future career. 
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? 
My biggest inspiration in my life has definitely been my mom. She’s the most tenacious, yet grounded person I’ve met. She’s taught me everything I know, and I’ll never be able to thank her enough for the sacrifices she has made for me. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... 
“What you put in is what you get out.” It’s simple but reminds me that results don’t appear unless I show up fully and put in real effort. Whether that’s on the field or in the classroom, I always try to remember that what I put in is what I’ll get out. 
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE...  
As a team, my biggest goal is to make it back to the conference playoff tournament. We have a small, but mighty roster and I know we can achieve great things. Individually, my biggest goal is to break Linfield’s all-time leading scoring record.
