WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I choose to attend Linfield because of the help and support of community. I also chose Linfield because of the small class sizes.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN? The best class I've taken at Linfield has been psychopathology because it's taught me about the effects of stigma. Specifically, it's taught me how stigma about different mental disorders affect those who struggle with these disorders.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? My biggest inspiration in life is my mom because she has always supported me through every decision I've made. She's my rock, and I hope to be more like her.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… The importance of grit in both physically and mentally challenging situations. Challenging practices and games have taught me this. Along with this, athletics at Linfield has taught me how uncomfortable or novel situations can teach you important life lessons.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… My individual goals are to improve my mental stability in games, work on my shot placement over the season, and to practice draw control. My team goal is to improve our team culture and to work on our communication skills on attack.
