I was raised in a family-centered household with relatives always pushing me to succeed at the next level. Family and friends have been the biggest motivators through the years of my soccer career. I began playing soccer at the age of 4 and since then, have developed a strong passion and love for the sport.

Through playing soccer over the course of the past 10 years, I have developed relationships among players and coaches, but most importantly developed the skills of the game. I consider reading the field one of my strengths and am always striving to play the “right ball”. Self motivation is a quality of mine that stands out as I tend to strive to be the most conditioned, whether in the mile run or the beep test. Soccer has become a significant part of my life, and achieving the dream of playing in college is something my younger self would be so incredibly proud of.

My self motivation not only occurs on the field, but translates over to school as well. In the classroom, I am currently taking all advanced courses and 2 AP courses as a result of being a McAuley Scholar. I ended first semester of a sophomore year with an unweighted grade point average of 3.52 and weighted of 4.17. Currently, I am considering pursuing a career path in occupational therapy specifically in pediatrics.
