WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of the amazing culture that fosters both athletics and academics, as well as Coach Spencer's proven track record of building winning programs. 
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means, excelling both in the classroom and in sport by balancing academic responsibilities with athletic pursuits through a commitment to personal growth. 
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports has made me a better person by teaching me life lessons that extend beyond the field and continue to positively influence all aspects of my life. 
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? In 10 years, I see myself working as a physical therapist trying to help the next generation of athletes any way that I can. 
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?  The greatest class I have taken is Kinesiology with Cisco Reyes. I learned a lot in that class that I will take and apply to my next academic journey in physical therapy school. I also use knowledge gained from that class to create my own workout plans and ways to improve my on-field baseball skills. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...  The greatest principle I have learned while competing in athletics at Linfield has been resiliency. Having transferred here last year, I've had to prove myself to a whole new team and coaching staff. Also last year not playing as much as I would have liked, I really had to be real with myself this summer and determine what I needed to do with myself in order to be a better contributor for the team this year. I put in the work this offseason and will see it come to light this season. 
 
AS A LINFIELD-STUDENT ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... My goal as a student athlete at Linfield is to be the best version of myself. By doing this it takes the emphasis off of any kind of expectations and allows me to be me. I think also by doing this it gives our team the best chance to win which of course my goal for us as a team.
