WHY LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because I felt wanted by the coach and welcomed by my new teammates. There is honestly no greater feeling than playing a sport that you love in an atmosphere where you feel you can truly connect and thrive in.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete at Linfield is a great honor because there are not many athletes that get to continue playing a sport that has brought them so many great memories.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I think that my passion to give my all in everything I do, is what makes me unique as a student athlete.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is to one day work in the development of third-world countries, and Linfield will help me achieve it by giving me the resources and opportunities to that career path.
 
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best class I have taken at Linfield is international politics taught by Patt Cottrell. The class helped expand my knowledge of how different governments are run around the world, which was very interesting.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME…Hanging out with my friends and family. I especially enjoy doing new things with people I love.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…The art of creating good habits and getting rid of bad habits.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield athletic career is sharing the field with such amazing teammates.
