Personal Statement

I’m a multi-sport athlete who strives for excellence in everything I do—on the field, in the classroom, and in my community. I play football (WR/Slot), soccer (RB), and basketball (PG), and I’m committed to constant improvement through training and teamwork. Academically, I maintain a 4.852 GPA and belong to the National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and the Spanish Honor Society.

My goal is to study Business and continue competing in football at the collegiate level, where I can grow as both a leader and a student-athlete. Off the field, I’m active in my church youth group and student council, and I value integrity, service, and being someone my team can count on.
