Personal Statement
I am a defender from Chicago, Illinois. I will graduate from the Latin School of Chicago in 2014. During my Sophomore year, I received an All-Sectional Honorable Mention, and was MVP of the team. Junior year I played for Chicago Fire U16 Academy (USSDA). Senior year, returning to my High School team, I earned first-team All-Conference, first-team All-Sectional, and unanimous Coaches selection as All-Conference Athlete of the Year.
Currently I play defender for 95/96 Premier Team Evanston, GotSoccer's #1 ranked non-academy team in Illinois. Last year I was a guest player for Raiders FCU18 team, winner of Illinois State Cup and USYSA Region 2 Championships. I have 3 years of ODP experience, where I played on the Illinois State team and the Region 2 player pool.
I would like to go to a great academic school on either the East or West coast, but if I find a program that I connect with I am open to other locations. Playing at the highest level possible is important to me, and I want to be somewhere where I can be a contributor to the team. I will go beyond what is expected of me to become a better player and a supportive teammate.
