About Me
I started playing soccer at a young age and have always been extremely passionate about it. I come from a family of soccer players. We are all very competitive and always pushed each other to be the best. My mom was a Division I soccer player at Washington State University, my Grandma was a High School and ODP coach and my Aunt played at Willamette University.
Most of the time I played as a forward, but then something unexpected happened; I was put in on defense and shutting down forwards became my forte. My athletic attributes are that I am aggressive, fast, and have a quick first step. I am also a good communicator and leader on the field. I play smart, which helps keep the defensive line organized. I am a critical thinker and can see the game very well which helps in a center back position.
Some of my greatest achievements are earning my spot on the West Regional Pool Team and being invited to go to the International Tournament in London, which has been scheduled and rescheduled due to Covid. I was also the only freshman who made varsity soccer, starting and playing in every game. This led to an All State 3A selection for Washington State.
Outside of soccer, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, skiing, going on adventures, working out, and traveling to new places!
