Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’d describe my gameplay style as highly technical and smart, always fully engaged and quick to read the game. I stay dynamic, communicate constantly with my defense, and use my athleticism and strength to make brave saves. My distribution is precise, allowing me to quickly transition play and keep our team on the front foot.

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

My mentality is focused, fearless, and resilient. I’m fully committed to every moment of the game, driven by a desire to protect my goal at all costs. I stay calm under pressure, and my high standards push me to constantly improve. I thrive on being a leader on the field, guiding and supporting my teammates with clear communication and encouragement.

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

I’ve developed strong leadership skills by being the vocal backbone of the defense, organizing and motivating my teammates with clear communication. My teamwork skills are essential, as I work closely with my defenders to maintain our shape and keep us cohesive under pressure.

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

A significant challenge I faced was during a season when I led my team to an undefeated regular season and secured a 1-0 shutout win in the national championship round of 16, advancing us to the final round of 8. However, despite my contributions, I didn't play in quarters, semis, and finals. This was incredibly tough experience, but I focused on staying positive and being a supportive teammate.
