WHY LINFIELD? 
When I visited Linfield, I loved the campus. I have always wanted to become a pediatric nurse, and Linfield has an amazing nursing program. I also get to be a part of this team, and I can’t wait. 
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? 
Being a student-athlete is such an honor. I get to represent the university on the volleyball team and be a role model to younger athletes. 
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? In sports comes a lot of responsibility, sportsmanship, leadership, and more. I have no clue what I would do without sports being in my life because I have found close friends and a second family.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? 
In 10 years, I see myself being a pediatric nurse saving the lives of children, as well as being a travel nurse around the country. Also starting a family of my own. 
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?
By far my favorite class has been anatomy with Professor Daniel. Anatomy is one of your harder pre-reqs for nursing, but Daniel made the class super fun. On exam and practical days he would bring us cookies or sweet treats. I loved learning about anatomy while working on the cadavers and models. I would 100% take this class again!!
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?
My greatest inspiration has been my mom. No matter what happens in life I know I can always turn to her for anything. While growing I watched my mom work as a pediatric nurse and knew that is what I wanted to do in life. Now I am following in her footsteps and creating my own path similar to hers. I don't know what I would do without my mom. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...
I would say perseverance by maintaining motivation in the face of adversity.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE...
My goal as a student athlete individually is to perform 110% to my ability. This includes the physical aspect but also the mental aspect. I always want to be a leader on and off the court, but be there for my teammates as well. My goal for the team is to make it to Nationals!!

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY OF BEING A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE SO FAR?
My favorite memory of being a Linfield student-athlete is the trip to the Whits. Even though the drive is a long one it is filled with so many memories with my teammates. Whether it be us doing karaoke on the bus, to playing games, or us just sleeping. No matter what I know that we are going to team bond even more and enjoy being with one another.
