Personal Statement
Updated June 2022: I am committed to American River College, a JUCO in Sacramento, California and played for them in my Freshman year. I will be looking to transfer for the Fall 2023 semester and hoping to continue playing soccer at a 4 year school. My freshman season, I started in 15 games; played a total of 16 games with 9 goals and 2 assists. I have posted here a highlight video from my Fall 2021 season with American River College. I am spending the summer 2022 playing for American River FC U23 team in the United Women's Soccer League 2, so I can keep enhancing my skills and staying fit. I will continue playing at American River College for my sophomore season. I will update after my sophomore season at American River; please feel free to reach out if you would like to talk.
I am a dedicated student and athlete, from a very small town. In the 8th grade I realized I was no longer being challenged in my local small-town soccer league, so I started traveling to challenge myself and better my game. First, I tried out for ODP my first tryout ever and I was very nervous, but I made the cut and practicing with girls from a much larger city who played with big clubs really helped my confidence and made me a better player. Then I tried out for one of those big clubs, but I must travel over 100 miles each way just to get to practice. I have been doing this 2-3 times a week, sometimes more so that I could play soccer in a more competitive environment. I have had to be very diligent and organized in my school work in order to do this, maintaining good grades while traveling so much in order to be a better soccer player. This has required lots of organization and very hard work.
I am an offensive player who usually plays striker or anywhere up top where the coach needs me since I am versatile and always looking for the diagonal runs or combination plays to get to the goal. Although its not just about scoring goals, but also looking for opportunities to help my team mates out and make us a better team on the field. I participated in Idaho ODP for 3 cycles 2016-2018, and I have also been a varsity starter at my HS starting as a Freshman. I am a 3 Time All State Forward (Sophomore, Junior and Senior years) in the Idaho high school season, helping my high school team to the State Championship and my Club team to the Far West Regionals. I will continue to focus on academic excellence while always striving to improve my soccer skills.
