Personal Statement

NCAA Eligibility ID #: 2307951620

I want to be an elite player and student. Everything I do in football and school is to help me achieve this goal. 

I am an attacking midfielder and winger who enjoys possession-based football. I play aggressively box-to-box and strive to positively impact every match. I pride myself in being a teammate that raises the intensity and work rate with each individual on the team, through my competitive desire to win and succeed in any training or match. I have played at the highest levels of competition such as MLS Next and the GA Cup, and represented the U.S. Futsal team in international competitions. I captained the U14 national Futsal team that won the world championships in Spain, in September 2022. I was also co-captain of the D.C. United U15 team. I have an incredible support system. I wouldn't be the person and player that I am today without the support of dedicated coaches, programs, and my parents.
