WHY LINFIELD? Linfield offered me an academic scholarship as well as some other faculty scholarships. I thought that Linfield would give me more advantages towards achieving my career goals.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means that you are representing a program and a community in a positive way. It's like you are representing your family. Linfield will be my family and it will be my responsibility to represent them in a positive way.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? Coming from a small island where we only challenge four different volleyball teams, I am eager for competition, challenge, and persistence. I have been through many challenges in life where I've been knocked down and had to get back up again. Failure teaches me to become efficient in striving for success.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I plan on a career in either marine science or environmental biology. Linfield is helping me achieve my goal by providing me with the courses I need to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in biology.
