2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I started playing soccer at the age of four. Although I tried lots of other sports, I realized that I wanted to play this sport more than anything else when I saw Leo Messi score a hat-trick in the 2006 El Clasico. This sport showed me what commitment and perseverance is, not only by playing the sport when I'm at my best but also when I'm at my worst. Soccer is my one true passion because I will give everything I've got- even if it means riding the bench or playing an unfamiliar position. Nothing can stop me from playing "The Beautiful Game".
I was selected from Louisiana Fire Jrs to participate on the Chicago Fire's "Fire Junior Elite" teams in 2015, 2016 and 2017 traveling to Disney Showcase, Costa Rica and Las Vegas Mayors Cup. I was selected for ODP Region 3 pool player in 2017. In 2018 I changed high schools to be part of a USSDA team. I am now at Shattuck-st Mary in Minnesota, the soccer center of excellence U19 team.
