WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because I was looking for a school where I could be a contributing member to the community, and not just a number. When I stepped foot on campus, I immediately felt welcomed, comfortable and right at home. I couldn't believe how welcoming everyone was, and I loved the energy and drive of the women's soccer team, and wanted to be a part of a family like that. It is a feeling that you get when you arrive, that you are right where you are supposed to be.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Having been a student-athlete my entire life, I couldn't imagine anything different! It means dedicating your heart, body and mind, both in the classroom and on the field. Supporting all other student-athletes, and being able to grow and learn with a great group of girls in an energetic and positively competitive culture.

WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? Being able to quickly develop relationships with my team members and understand each of their unique strengths; highlighting these in creative plays on the field to bring everyone together to effectively achieve our goals!

WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is leadership in the sports industry! Linfield offers a variety of degrees that will help me zero in on exactly what I want to do after college.
