My collegiate goals revolve around competing at the highest level of tennis in the USA, as well as contributing to the team and building myself as an athlete and as a person. I’ve dedicated myself to this sport since I was 5 years old, and I’d like to expand my knowledge and skills even further. Living in a small, developing country, I grew up with limited access to quality tennis facilities and elite coaching resources, which has significantly shaped my approach to the sport. I learned to quickly adapt to varying surfaces, opponents and playing conditions, which can significantly help me overcome different obstacles more effectively. Balancing my athletic and academic commitments has been a challenge that I learned to enjoy over the years, and I look forward to continuing my journey in the USA with my new team.
