Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am confident in and out of the box. My years of Futsal have given me strong ball handling skills. My speed, agility, calmness and ability to read the game early have given me confidence to become a sweeper keeper. Keeping the ball out of my 1/3 or ready to scrap it out when defense breaks down.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Many people say I have an old soul. I believe that you to train how you play because you will play how you train. I enjoy pushing myself to improve and never put my head down or have negative energy, I love playing and life. I set many different goals to help me be as prepared for unexpected opportunities and closer to my dreams.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I spread my timeGAB, FBLA, Op Smile, Math/Science/Latin/english tutoring, storm water drain management and recently a Youth Guide at VBS. Starting my Junior year with 205 service hours and looking for more ways to be impactful glob-locally in sustainable ways. Received the Anchor Award, 1st place Film Production VB City PTA ‘24, 3rd place Film Production VA State PTA ‘24, Principal list 23/24.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Day in/out I show up for myself, family, team and coaches. I am a leader on/off the field, showing mental toughness, consistency, training, spirit and foresight. One skill I’m developing is peer motivation to bring my teams closer together. A winning spirit can change a team and through cross training with like minded peers we can grow closer and stronger because we trust and know the process.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I was selected for ODP to play in Portugal. HS schedule came out & I had to forfeit a starting position until after the trip. We tied the game I missed. I earned it back & kept clean sheets all the way to state semi finals, shutting out our local rival in the Region 5a Championship- I would love to tell you about playing Kellam again at the VHSL State Championship on my 16th Birthday!

What type of college are you looking for?

A college that excels in both academics and athletics, offering vigorous programs to support my aspirations. I want an institution that provides a well-rounded experience, preparing me for my future through practical skills and personal development opportunities. The ideal college should foster an environment where I can thrive academically, compete athletically, and grow as an individual.
