Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a high-motor, versatile outside back known for my speed, endurance, and ability to support both ends of the field. I take pride in being a strong 1v1 defender, making smart recovery runs, and creating chances in transition. My multi-sport background has shaped me into a disciplined, explosive athlete with sharp field vision and a relentless work ethic.

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

I’m a disciplined and coachable athlete with a team-first mindset. I bring consistent effort, a competitive drive, and a positive attitude to every training session and game. I take pride in doing the little things right, supporting my teammates, staying focused under pressure, and always looking for ways to improve.

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

I currently focus most of my time on athletics and academics, I’m exploring opportunities to get more involved in student leadership and service-based organizations at school. I’ve consistently maintained a 4.0 GPA and take pride in being a dependable, goal-driven student.

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

Through soccer and other sports, I’ve developed leadership, discipline, and strong teamwork skills. I’ve learned how to communicate effectively, push through challenges, and support my teammates on and off the field. Sports have helped me grow my confidence and adaptability. I also take pride in being consistent, coachable, and always ready to lead by example.

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

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced was dealing with a high ankle sprain and a partially torn hamstring. Being sidelined was frustrating, but it taught me patience, mental toughness, and how to stay focused even when I couldn't compete. I stayed engaged by supporting my teammates, studying film, and staying on top of my rehab.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college with a strong balance between academics and athletics—somewhere I can compete at a high level while also challenging myself in the classroom. I value a team culture that emphasizes hard work, development, and leadership. Ideally, I’d love to be part of a program where the coaching staff is invested in their players and where I can grow both as an athlete and as a person.
