I’ve never turned down the opportunity to play any sport, whether it be martial arts and gymnastics as a kid, to running and throwing in track, to getting involved in wrestling and weightlifting with my school. For as long as I can remember, soccer has been my greatest passion. I grew up with an older brother who was also very involved in sports and who introduced me to soccer at the age of 3. I’ve learned lessons from soccer that can’t be taught in school. After playing in three state championship games and returning with three-second place titles, I‘ve come to the conclusion that there is so much more to soccer than winning. I am loyal, committed, and dedicated to everything I do and approach every situation with a never give up attitude. I believe that having a connection with each member of the team is important because this ensures that everyone feels supported and appreciated. We see each other at our highest of highs and lowest of lows. I don’t believe in having an offseason because I see every day as an opportunity to get better. On days I don’t have practice I can be found in the gym. I hold myself to high standards and I do everything in my power to reach my goals.
As well as holding myself to high standards on the field, I hold myself to those high standards in the classroom as well. I take college-level classes along with high-level electives in my field of interest. It is important for me to be at a school that I can be successful in both academics and athletics. I have a passion and a close connection for many fields in medicine and hope to one day help others the way that they have helped my family and I. I am a dedicated student-athlete and will continue putting in all of my hard work in hopes of one day making my dreams a reality.
