WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD?
I chose Linfield because I was drawn to the close-knit community. The small school environment fosters a sense of belonging, and I'm excited to be part of a place where everyone is engaged and supportive of each other. Plus, I'm thrilled to be at a school where I can play two sports, soccer and track & field.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU?
Being a student-athlete at Linfield means balancing my academic pursuits with my passion for sports. It's about representing the school with pride, both on and off the field, and upholding values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. It's also about pushing myself to excel in all aspects of college life, knowing that the lessons I learn as an athlete will help me succeed in my future.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
Participating in sports has taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Overcoming my ACL injury has been a significant part of that journey, teaching me perseverance and the importance of staying positive even in the face of setbacks.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?
In 10 years, I hope to see myself as a physicians associate specializing in orthopedics, helping injured athletes return to sports and improving people's quality of life. I want to be a compassionate and skilled healthcare provider, making a meaningful impact on my patients' lives, and contributing to the field of sports medicine.
