Personal Statement

I want to play at the collegiate level while I earn a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. As a military child, I have played in different regions and overseas, giving me a lot of exposure to different styles and ways to play the game. I also have a lot of experience in tournament play. My work ethic and respectful attitude are two things that make me stand out from other players. My current coaches appreciate that I am coachable and eager to improve my skills. I currently attend school at TCA College Pathways which operates like a college and will afford me the opportunity to graduate with an associate's degree. For HS Soccer I play for the Rampart Rams. I train with a trainer in the off-season and work independently to improve my skill level.
