Like most players who play at a similar level and want to continue throughout college, soccer has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing at 3 years old and it has supported me in small and in big meaningful ways for the last 15 years. Travel soccer gave me an instantaneous group when I moved across the country, surrounded me with friends in high school and was my support system when I suffered an injury at the beginning of the travel season my junior year. After a successful surgery, I worked extremely hard to get back into peak physical shape before the start of my high school season that very year.; I started and we finished the season as state semi-finalists. I believe you play how you practice and I'm very competitive on the field. I feel fortunate for the experiences I've been able to take part in, playing in different clubs, on different state ODP teams and at different high schools because it has only made me a stronger player and I hope to continue on that path.
