With the Brazilian in my blood, since I was 3 years old I knew that soccer was the only sport that I had room for in my life. I dreamed of playing at the high collegiate level, and maybe one day professionally. I have been lucky enough to experience soccer in two different regions of the country. In Vermont, where I lived until I was 10, and now here in Florida. Since moving to Florida, I have had the opportunity to play in the highest levels of soccer the state had to offer, including ODP and now MLS Next. I currently play for the Chargers U19 MLS Next in Tampa, and my goals are to improve and refine my skills throughout the season. I also hope to be able to help my team far into the MLS Next Cup tournament next year. I put a lot of pride into not only being coachable but a good teammate and student. My final goal is to be able to contribute all of these skills to a top soccer and academic school in the US.
