Personal Statement

I am actively seeking a Division 1 soccer opportunity. I am a high school senior who will graduate in May 2024. While I am actively seeking opportunities for Fall 2024, I am open to taking a gap year to land the right D-1 opportunity - I have a June birthday and have the ability to continue training with my club team for 2024-25 season.   

I am currently a member of the Sockers FC U19 program.  I regularly train and have traveled with the Sockers U19 MLS NEXT squad, one of the top teams in the U.S.  I have also participated in top MLS NEXT events, including MLS NEXT Fest and the recent National Academy Championship (NAC) at IMG - our team won the NAC U19 MLS NEXT Championship.  

I am also a member of the Sockers U19 NAL and NPL teams, where I am a starting Right Wing. 

I am a versatile player who works hard on offense and defense and who is ready to step up based on the needs of my coach and team. 

Please reach out if you believe I could be a fit for your program.
