WHY LINFIELD?  

I chose to attend Linfield for its strong sports management program and the opportunity to play soccer at a competitive level while continuing my education. 

WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU?  

Being a student-athlete means balancing academic and athletic excellence, representing my school with pride, and learning valuable life skills like teamwork and perseverance. 

HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?  

Participating in sports has made me a better person by teaching me discipline, resilience, and how to work effectively within a team. 

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?  

In 10 years, I see myself running my own sports management company, helping athletes achieve their personal and professional goals. 

WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY? 

Sports Philosophy has been my favorite class because it was more than just learning things on paper. It made me really think about my own opinions and question why I thought the way I did. Sometimes I would start with one opinion and end up thinking completely differently after hearing other perspectives. I really liked how interactive it was and how much it made me think. 

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE SO FAR? 

Some of my favorite memories have been traveling with my teammates, being together before games, and celebrating our wins. I love those pregame moments when we are all together, focused, and just in the moment. There are so many memories I could choose from, but those are the moments I know I’ll always remember. 

WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? 

My dad has been one of the biggest inspirations in my life, along with my mom. They have sacrificed so much for me and have always supported me in chasing my dreams, especially with soccer. My dad works so hard for our family, and I know I can always count on him no matter what. I hope one day I can give back to him everything he has given me. 

THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... 

Always finding and remembering my “why”. 

AS A LINFIELD-STUDENT ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... 

Individually, I want to do better than I did last year and push myself to exceed my own expectations. Since this is my last year, I want to give everything I have and be the best player and teammate I can be. As a team, I want us to push each other, compete for each other, and make the most of our last season together.
