Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Offensively, I work very hard off-ball to get open, making lots of aggressive runs at goal or holding up the ball when asked. My finishing and back to goal work are two of my best traits. Defensively, I pressure hard and continuously without tiring, but I can play low block as well.

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

I am one of the hardest workers you will ever meet, I cannot handle losing and I will work till I win. I do not give up and work diligently to reach my goals. I have been a leader my whole life, leading by example and calm, positive directions with my peers.

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

I work very well with teams, and I display leadership in all settings. I have learned to be very patient while dealing with peers, along with adaptability to adjust to all situations.

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

When I was 14 years old, all leg function (Nerve Endings Failed In My Leg) ceased in my right leg. Doctors could not find any cause or solution, and I was told various times I would never run again, move correctly again, or do any explosive movements. Over six months, I relearned how to walk, run, jump, and kick. I then returned to soccer and eventually made a full recovery.
