WHY LINFIELD? The previous success of pre-med students made me realize the strength of their academics. Along with this, Linfield felt like a place I could find my second home and continue my academic and soccer pursuits.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a Student-Athlete means being able to enjoy and balance school and sports at the same time. College is for education and that comes first. However, soccer is something I enjoy to do and keeps me on track towards my goals.

WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I want to go into the medical field and have heard great things about how Linfield has helped previous students get into the field, it seems like the place to help me take the next step into my future professional life.

WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? Calculus II during Jan Term 2020, Professor Stephen Bircher is an amazing professor.

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME… Baking deserts for my friends, hiking, hammocking and spending time outside.

THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… Being All In!

WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career thus far was beating PLU on senior day in 2019.
