Loyalty, patience, humbleness and respect. These are the characteristics that I thrive to apply on and off the field. As a young kid, my parents set out values and aspired I would implement them into my everyday life. Soccer has been essential to helping me develop my character, connecting my values with strength, determination and hard work. Since I was 7 years old, the highlight of my day has always been stepping foot on the soccer field. As a center back, my main purpose is to provide my team with confidence and to assure them that they have a rock wall in the back. My ambition to reach the NCAA soccer level while receiving an excellent education is what has driven me through my journey. Knowing I'm one step away only motivates me to work harder.
