Because I will be pursuing a nursing double major, I will complete an additional two years at the nursing campus in Portland.” Final year: “This is my third and fi at Linfi eld. Unfortunately, nal season playing basketball I will not be able to play for Coach Doty next year while attending classes in Portland.” Balancing sport and academics: “Balancing is defi nitely a diffi cult task, however during the season you are forced to manage your time more effi ciently and I generally do better in my classes during the season.” Proud moment: “In high school I was fortunate enough to make a game-winning shot to clinch third place in state for my team. As a Linfi eld athlete, it's always fun to beat George Fox.” Future plans: “My first career goal is to work as a nurse.
