Soccer has always been a central part of my life. I have been playing on organized teams for over a decade, and the joy and excitement that I feel when I step onto the field is indescribable. My love for the game is only matched by my dedication to improving my skills and helping my team succeed. I am a hardworking and determined player, and I take every opportunity to learn and grow as an athlete. I am always striving to be the best that I can be, and I am constantly looking for ways to contribute to my team's success. Whether it is through scoring goals or making key defensive plays, I am committed to doing whatever it takes to help my team win.

As a dedicated and passionate student-athlete, I am excited to continue both athletically and academically. With a weighted GPA of 3.92 and a strong background in honors classes, I am confident in my ability to excel academically. My preferred field of study is in the realm of health sciences and I believe that participating in college soccer would provide me with valuable experiences and opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. In high school, I have been a starter on the varsity soccer team for three years, earning various accolades such as 1st Team All-Region, 1st Team All-State, and Team Most Valuable Player. In 2021, I helped lead my team to regional champions and in 2022, we placed 2nd in the region. I have also been a member of the Fire FC Premier club team, and have participated in several events such as the West Region ODP Summer ID Camp, Utah State Cup, and West Region ODP Championships, where we were finalists. In addition to my athletic achievements, I have also been recognized for my academic excellence with numerous honor roll awards. I understand the importance of balancing my academic and athletic responsibilities, and I am committed to working hard in both areas to achieve my goals. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to any  college soccer program and to continue my development as a student-athlete.
