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 Linfield class that I've taken was my study abroad course, the History of Health and Nursing in Central Europe. I learned so much during the month of taking this course, and it truly enriched by senior year. I recommend that everyone takes a study abroad course at some point during their time at Linfield! The course taught me so much new knowledge, especially taking it as a non-nursing major.
 
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… 
I think my individual goals and team goals are very aligned. As a team, I hope we can overcome the challenges of having a small roster. This means every player needs to be ready to always perform at their best. I also hope that our team will learn how to work together, especially on the attacking end of the field. 
Individually, I hope to improve on my shooting strength, my footwork, as well as my confidence on the field. I will continue to support my teammates both on and off the field, and I know they will do the same for me. Having this unwavering support from my teammates has allowed me to be more confident in my abilities on the field.
