Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I enjoy playing possession. I prefer teams who play through the middle and I am great at through balls and I have great vision. I have a good first touch and I am incredibly driven and competitive.

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

I am very passionate and driven when I play. I prefer programs where there is a nice mix of seriousness and fun. However, when it’s game time I am incredibly focused and want to win.

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

I also compete in track. I race in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles. My favorite event is the 300 hurdles. I am a member of NAHS at school as well as the Psychology club. I received Principle’s Honor Roll and I am also a Scholar Athlete.

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

I have been captain of my club team for the last 2 seasons and will be going into my 3rd. I have learned how to help my players on the field with their positioning by fully understanding what our coach needs from every player in order for us to play like a team. Every time we have a new potential player come out to try to make our team I make sure to help them feel welcomed and get to know them.

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

I have had some injuries over the years that I have had to fight through which can be mentally tough. I always want to give 100% but when your body is unable to it can be difficult to deal with. I have also had to deal with teammates that can be disruptive and make things difficult for the team.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college with a highly competitive soccer program, but also a positive environment where we all lean on each other. I want to major in sports psychology so I need a school with that program or psychology and kinesiology/exercise science. I want to be on a beautiful and safe campus and go to a school that gives their athletes a lot of academic support.
