Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with a lot of intensity and aggression, always pushing myself and my teammates to give their best. I thrive in high-pressure situations and am known for making game-changing plays when it matters most. I try to lead by example and keep the energy up, making sure the myself and the team stays focused.

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

I’m all about dedication and hard work. I take pride in staying focused on my goals and continuously improving. I believe in taking ownership of my actions, whether I succeed or fail. I’m highly competitive and always strive to be better than I was the day before. I also try to keep the game fun and bring a positive energy to my team, while still getting my job done.

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

I am involved in many clubs at school including Key Club, DECA, FCA, and Women in the Workplace Club. I am involved in the National Charity League and National Honors Society. I have received an IB learner profile award for balanced.

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

As a player on two teams, I’ve developed strong leadership skills, especially when it comes to motivating my teammates and keeping the group together. I’ve also developed my teamwork skills, learning to communicate effectively, support others, and adapt to different playing styles. I’m very committed to personal growth, but I’m also dedicated to helping my team grow together.

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

I have faced a lot of inner challenges before, not necessarily exterior. My biggest hater is myself. I constantly have to get over the overthinking that occurs in my brain. I stand by if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that is the right fit for me personally. I want a college that succeeds in academics and athletics. I'm open to many places location wise, whether that is closer to home or further away. I want to be a part of a team that treats their teammates like family. I think college would be a great opportunity to learn new routines/learning styles, and balance school and soccer.
