WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? 
I chose to attend Linfield because of the great atmosphere and the campus is beautiful. I also like how the campus is smaller and the smaller class sizes.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? 
I love lacrosse and it is a big part of my life, and I love being able to show what I can do and show my love of it to other people. Being a student athlete teaches responsibility and hark work.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? 
It has made me learn how to work with others and know the true meaning of a teammate. I have learned the meaning of family.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? 
In 10 years, I see myself working at an elementary school as a school counselor. I also hope to be coaching lacrosse.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN?  
The best class I have taken at Linfield is Sport Philosophy because it made me think about sports in a way I haven't before. It helped me better understand the mental side of sports from a philosophical perspective. 
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? 
My dad has been the greatest inspiration in my life. He taught me what it means to work hard for something and the importance of earning something rather than it being handed to you. He is also one of the main reasons I started playing lacrosse so for that I am forever grateful. I see how hard he works every day, and it has pushed me to do the same. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… 
That each season has ups and downs and it's your teammates that really matter. If you can walk away from a game proud of how you play, then it doesn’t matter if you won or lost. Also, to always leave it all out on the field because you never know what day your last day could be playing the sport you love.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… 
Individually, I want to leave everything I have on the field every game, because this is my last season and to truly enjoy it and focus on fun. My team goals are to play together and play hard every game. I would love to beat Whitworth and George Fox.
