WHY LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield because it is close to home and it is the perfect school for both my academic and athletic goals.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means I can compete at the collegiate level while receiving a strong, well-rounded education. It also means I have the chance to represent the school outside the classroom.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I spend lots of time with kids. I tutor elementary school students in math and English and I coach junior tennis classes. Working with kids is fun because they are excited to learn and try new things!
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is pre-physical therapy and Linfield is helping me achieve it by providing constant guidance, opportunities, resources and support as I navigate my journey.
