Soccer has been a huge part of my life since I was six years old. It’s where I feel happiest, whether it’s the rush of adrenaline on the field, the intensity of competition, or the challenge to always improve. Growing up with a Brazilian dad and a French mom, I’ve been surrounded by a strong soccer culture that has shaped who I am both as a player and a person.
Perseverance is one of my defining traits. As a late bloomer, I’ve faced challenges with size, but I’ve never let that discourage me. I see every setback as a new opportunity to grow stronger, and I know that hard work and dedication will help me overcome any obstacle. Spending my 8th grade year in France, living with relatives, attending school in French, and playing on a local team there gave me the chance to experience soccer in an international setting. It taught me adaptability, resilience, independence, and the value of stepping outside my comfort zone to pursue my goals.
While my dream is to play professionally, I also value education and want a college path that allows me to stay connected to the sport I love. Whether that’s as a player or working in the sports world, I’m committed to combining my passion for soccer with a strong academic foundation.
I’m excited to bring my leadership, technical skills, perseverance, and international background to the college I attend. Soccer is more than a game for me—it’s my passion and the driving force behind my hard work and dedication. It’s my life, and I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve my goals while making a positive impact both on and off the field.
