Personal Statement

I am actively pursuing a Division I soccer opportunity for Fall 2025. I graduated from Hinsdale Central High School in June 2024 and am currently taking a gap year.

I am a member of Sockers FC MLS NEXT U19s, one of the premier teams in the U.S. I have competed in top-tier MLS NEXT events, including the MLS NEXT Fest (2023) and the National Academy Championship (NAC) at IMG (2024) - we won the NAC U19 MLS NEXT Championship in 2024.
