Personal Statement

My collegiate goal is to be the best soccer player that I can be for your program, and I aspire to fill whatever hole you need to be filled for the team's benefit.  I am a good candidate for your program because I am very coachable, am smart on and off the field, and can play different positions (CB/CDM).  

When I was 14 years old, I was selected to join the Barcelona FC Residency Academy across the country in Arizona.  I left behind my family and friends in North Carolina and moved by myself to live and play for my freshman year.  This experience taught me a lot about responsibility and I grew as a player and as a person. 

For high school soccer, I was a Captain of my Varsity high school team that went 13-1-1 my Junior year and won our conference. I am the first junior captain in school history and was selected as an All-Region player.

I also have international experience, I was selected twice to play in tournaments in France with FC Orlando Europe and selected twice to train in Germany with Taxofit, Fortuna Dusseldorf, and FC Koln.
