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?
The best Linfield class that I have taken would definitely be Anatomy. Yes, it may be a heavy workload and a lot of studying, but I enjoyed it overall. Plus, the professor I had was amazing!!
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?
Without a doubt it would be my mom. Growing up I have watched her do everything she could for my family and work so hard for everything. On top of that she is a pediatric nurse, so I want to follow in her footsteps.
 
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...
As a Linfield student-athlete, my personal goal would be to stay on top of my academics and make it into the nursing program. Also strive to push myself to be the greatest I can be. For my team goal, it would be having a winning season and to stay as a second family to each other.
