I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old, and have played competitively since I was around 9 years old. I have become very passionate about the sport as a result, and I am striving to pursue it at a collegiate level. I believe that balance is extremely important and I greatly value my academics. I consider myself a hardworking student and athlete with a notable work ethic, and I am willing to make sacrifices in order to achieve my goals inside the classroom and on the field.
