WHY LINFIELD? I think that Linfield is very well suited for me, I love the environment and the feel. I also like it because of the good program offered for my major.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means as a part of a team I have a lot more responsibilities to keep track offor the sake of me and my team. Also to me it means that I will get to experience something much more than if I were not doing any sports, it will add a sense of school pride and also give me good relationships with people.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I think I am unique as a Student-Athlete because that is not all I am, I am also an artist and a musician. I like to dabble in everything and put my whole soul into whatever I'm doing.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? My career focus is based completely on wine, still yet to be determined what branch of wine, but I could perhaps focus more on the actual making of wine or the growing of grapes and the business aspect of it.
 
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? Religion and Nature, because it opened my eyes up to a lot of things and has changed the way I look at the world around me.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME…Listening to music and making art.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…Do not take anything too personally, all you can do is do your best.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career has been making some new friends and traveling.
