U17 MLS Next Season
U17 Preseason ActionPersonal Statement
I wanted to share with you my collegiate goals. My passion for goalkeeping, coupled with my strong work ethic, has fueled my desire to compete at the highest level. While I possess the physical skills necessary for success, I also hold great character traits that set me apart from other recruits: I am a team player who understands the value of collaboration, communication, and leadership. In academics, I maintain a solid 3.8 GPA to ensure a well-rounded experience. I believe my commitment, determination, and positive attitude make me a valuable candidate and potential teammate for any University.
