Starting soccer was temporary.  I am a black belt in Taekwondo.  I received my black belt at age 8 1/2.  I was too young to train for my 2nd degree so I had to be a junior instructor until I could start training for my 2nd degree at age 11.  After a year, I was bored.  As my mom and I were driving down Lake Mead Blvd in Las Vegas, she saw a sign up for AYSO.  She asked if I wanted to join for the time being UNTIL I was old enough to start training for my 2nd degree black belt.  I figured it couldn't hurt.  So I joined my first soccer team as an AYSO U11 player.  After 2 seasons I was asked to tryout for the AYSO Traveling All Star team.  I made it and actually won a starting job.  After that 6 week season, the coaches told my mom that I shouldn't play for AYSO anymore and should try out for club.  My first club team was LV Neon in Las Vegas U12 girls.   

I’m currently a a rising senior at one of the premier academic high schools in Chicago...Jones College Prep. I play for Chicago City Soccer Club and I'm the starting winger (either side). Depending on the explosiveness of the offense, my club coach also plays me at outside attacking back and sometimes at attacking center mid. This past summer my club team played in the SuperY league and I led them to a bid to play in the National Championship this past December in Tampa, FL.  I also play HS soccer and have been on the varsity team since freshman year. I'm honored and humbled to announce that I was elected the incoming captain of my HS varsity team. I would love to be part of a team that I could help move forward and upward.   Both my club & HS coaches have said that I'm very coachable and the most versatile player on their team. 

Soccer aside, I'm sure that they will also tell you that I'm a good person. I was raised to work hard, be honest and treat everyone equally. My mom raised me to abide by the Golden Rule...to treat others as I would want to be treated.  I thrive in an environment that fosters respect, humility, hard work, accountability and teamwork.
