WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because I attended an ID camp hosted by the team and it felt like home.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means developing life skills to help me in the classroom and on the field.

WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I am unique because I have had two knee surgeries.

WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? My favorite class at Linfield was Principles of Biology because I left the class with more questions than answers. It made me curious about all of the unknowns that exist in the science community, which kept me engaged in the concepts we learned.

WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? My greatest inspiration is my grandfather. He worked and lived for the betterment of his community. While he never attended college, he worked for hospital boards and the ILWU advocating for the people of his community. He taught me that helping others is the greatest mark of accomplishment in ones life. He was very kind and I miss him everyday. I hope I can be as impactful on those around me as he was.
