Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a defender, I'm a tenacious and intelligent player who relies on positioning and anticipation rather than size to dominate my position. I'm aggressive in the tackle, always looking to win the ball cleanly and immediately start our transition forward. My game is built around reading plays before they develop and shutting down attacks through smart positioning and quick decision-making.

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

Growing up in a big family with four sisters has taught me how to communicate effectively and adapt to different personalities. This experience has made me resilient and competitive - I've learned to hold my own and never back down from challenges. My family background has given me a quiet confidence that shows up in how I organize our defense and support my teammates. I genuinely love the game.

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

I served as class president during freshman and sophomore years but stepped down to focus on soccer and enrolled in Sport Leadership instead. I volunteer at local stables and am currently enrolled in my high school's veterinary program. I also volunteer several afternoons each week at an after-school program helping younger students.

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

As class president, I learned to listen to different perspectives and make group decisions. Stepping down for soccer taught me to prioritize commitments while still finding a compromise and enrolling in the sports leadership class. These experiences mold me to stay focused.
