Personal Statement
When I was 10 I started playing club soccer as a Goalkeeper (FC Portland/2010). In 2013 I played for Westside Copa, ODP (Olympic Development Team) and trained with the Portland Timbers Academy. In 2015 I joined the U16 Timbers Academy. I played Varsity soccer as a freshman (Westview High School) and made All League. My goal is to attend college to get an education and to play soccer. What makes me a good candidate is my hard work and dedication, first to my academics and then to my position as a Goalkeeper. Update 2016: I've been fortunate to be invited to train with the Timbers first team several times and the Timbers second team (T2) over 12 times in 2016. This has been a great opportunity to increase my soccer IQ as well as my technical goal keeping skills.
