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

Yes, I faced a significant challenge in 2022 when I fractured my foot during my club season. It was truly a difficult experience because it was the first time I had suffered a significant injury that required that I sit out an extended amount of time and rehab. During that time it was hard because It required a long rehabilitation process which prevented me from going to battle with my teammates.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that aligns with my interests , goals and learning preferences. I would like to attend a college that is culturally diverse, competitive, supports student athletes and has a great coaching staff.
