- 2024 Spotlight
Personal Statement
I love soccer, being on a team, manipulating the ball, constantly learning and improving. I am a resilient, hardworking, competitive soccer player.
At 5, I joined a co-ed team at the Brighton Soccer Club in Victoria, Australia. Throughout my primary school years, every recess was spent on the soccer field. I played for a local community girls team and participated in weekly soccer clinics.
I am currently 17 yrs old and in year 12, at Rowville Secondary College, playing soccer in the Rowville Sports Academy. Outside of school soccer, I play for the Over 20's Seniors Team at Bentleigh Greens Football Club in the Women's National Premier League (WNPL). WNPL is the top amateur league in Australia. I also practice weekly with a professional football academy, Melbourne Victory.
As striker in WNPL, I have received the Golden Boot every year since 2018. In 2023, my under 19s team was short a centre-back. I was asked to play the position temporarily and have been playing the position ever since, both in the National Premier league and at school. As a new centre-back, I still managed to win the Golden Boot for 2023.
I work hard at school but because I am in a sports academy, this will be the first year that I will receive a grade point average. I have a strong interest in psychology.
My goal is to attend a university that plays winning soccer. My ultimate goal is to join a professional soccer club. I am seeking a scholarship so that I can pursue my ambitions in academics and soccer.
