Personal Statement
- I am a 5'6" 135 pound center mid/center back from Half Moon Bay, California. Since coming to Notre Dame, I have been on the varsity soccer team, the varsity swim team and the varsity water polo team. Highlights of this past season were contributing to a team that won the Arizona Showcase Tournament in December, and then following it up with a third place finish in the DII California Central Coast Section Championships. Our soccer team was one of the most successful in school history. I also earned a varsity letter in swimming in the spring and led the junior varsity water polo team in steals in the fall. I am just starting my junior year and have earned three varsity letters so far.
- I have grown as a student athlete this year by being pushed both in a college preparatory classroom and on the field surrounded by talented teammates. I am a dedicated student and understand the value of hard work. I come from a family of teachers and school administrators. I would like to study education or physical therapy. I am fully biliterate in Spanish.
- This past year I learned the value of teamwork, commitment, and sacrifice. Combine that with what I feel are my greatest attributes; tenacity, toughness, endurance and coachability. I know that I have what it takes to play soccer in college. I am interested in all schools within California or close by that would a good fit for me both academically and athletically. My father played college baseball and later became a pro triathlete. My mother held several CCS swim records in the 1980s. I have grown up playing many sports and understand that to play in college takes a special person focused on the sport and good grades. I know I am that person.
