Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with explosive speed and can outrun almost anyone in the open field. My vision allows me to make difficult passes, and I’m the ultimate team player—always looking to create opportunities. When needed, I can take over and dominate the game.

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

I’m highly coachable and always listen to my coaches and teammates. Focused and driven, I don’t say much, but when I do, people pay attention.

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

Yes, I have been apart of the Advanced Academics UIL team and have won medals and ribbons. I was awarded the Legion Award for Leadership for my school.

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

I’ve developed a strong leadership mindset by leading by example both in the classroom and on the field. I believe teamwork is the foundation of a successful team, and I always strive to uplift those around me. Beyond sports, I give back to my community by volunteering with my school soccer team at the food bank.

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

My biggest challenge is my size—I’m only 5 feet tall. However, I make up for it with my speed, strength, and relentless work ethic. No matter the competition, I’m always willing to outwork anyone on the field.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that values my speed and gives me the opportunity to make an impact on the field. More than anything, I want to be part of a team that feels like the right fit. A place where I can contribute and grow alongside my teammates.
