For the past eight years, I have committed to becoming the best student-athlete possible and serving as a great teammate, on and off the field.  

I am a self-motivated, fast learner, and highly coachable face-off specialist with quick hands who is physically & mentally strong and tough on ground balls. I have played both attack and midfield but, since my freshman year, I have been specializing in the Face-off (Stay-on) role because of the importance of team possession but also because I enjoy the competitiveness of the position.

Academically, I was chosen to join the selective John F. Kennedy Honors Program at Choate on Government and Public Service for my junior and senior years. I’ve received a 3.94 GPA for the past semester and will continue excelling in the classroom to be the best student-athlete I can be.

I respect my coaches and know that with dedication, I can continue to grow my excellence at the face-off position to help my team win and have fun. Getting a great education is important to me and I am interested in playing lacrosse at highly selective academic institutions.

I have passed on a few D1 recruiting opportunities because I am hoping for a best fit school academically in addition to lacrosse.
