Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am smart, fast, and physical. As a defender, I use positioning and intelligence to deny my opponent the ball. When defending 1v1, I use my size and speed to prevent my opponent from turning and force turnovers when on the run. I am a good passer and comfortable making short, medium, and long passes. I make runs when appropriate and look to go wide and make crosses in the attacking third.

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

I am a vocal leader who acts like a coach on the field. I have a positive attitude and look to motivate my teammates. I am very coachable and react well to criticism.

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

I am involved in the Buddies Club, which supports special needs students with academics and athletics. I am a writer and editor for the school Newspaper Club. I am also the co-leader of the Tricia Militia, an organizer and fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and Breast Cancer Awareness.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a high academic school with a strong soccer program. Team culture is very important to me. I prefer a smaller school, but am open to a larger, high academic school with a great soccer culture.
