My love for soccer began in kindergarten, when every day after school, I'd run to a small hockey court in our neighborhood called the "cage" with my friends, where we would play soccer for hours and hours, often until dark. These same friends encouraged me to join a soccer club, and with dedication and passion, I've been playing ever since, as I love the game.
When it comes to academics, it's not always easy for me; however, my goal is always to push myself and strive for improvement. In 9th and 10th grade, I was honored with multiple Pillar Awards for my Work Ethic and Perseverance.Teachers give these prestigious recognitions to only 30 students each year out of 2500+ in my high school. These traits are a source of pride for me, defining who I am both on and off the field.
As a multi-sport athlete, I enjoy competing, thriving on playing, and being an integral part of a team. Supported by my parents, who value being well-rounded, I've pursued club soccer year round, cross country in the fall, wrestling in the winter, and lacrosse in the spring since the age of seven, alongside international competitions in Jiu Jitsu. Though I enjoy and excel in many sports, soccer holds my heart. My goal is to play soccer in college and utilize my passion for the game and my unwavering hard work to help my team achieve its goals.
