Personal Statement
My coaches say my speed, explosiveness, and uncommon effort set me apart. I can break back lines, beat a keeper, win 1 v 1, place a free kick, high press, and defend back. I love to be creative, aggressive, and get vertical (please check my video out). I believe my work ethic is a big reason why I was All District, All City Honorable Mention, and selected to represent Oklahoma in the KS vs OK All Star game - all during my Freshman year. During my Freshman year, we made it to the state championship for the first time in our school's history, but lost by one. During my Sophomore year, we returned and won our school's first State Championship in double overtime and I'm proud to say I just found out I earned All District on our State Championship team. I was also recently given a 3 Star rating by TopDrawerSoccer, was All City HM again, and have been invited back to the All Star game for the second year in a row.
I take school seriously maintaining above a 4.16 GPA while taking Accelerated Math, Science, and English as well as AP History. As a junior, I'm taking AP classes as well as concurrent college classes through OSU. I attend church regularly and value time with my friends and family - especially my little sister, Olivia... all while holding down a part time job at a local gym and volunteering at local soccer camps.
