Personal Statement
My mother is British and my father is French. I was born in the UK and hold a British passport but have lived in Tuscany, Italy since the age of 2. I attended kindergarten, primary, and middle school in Italy and am currently studying in my second year (sophomore year) of a Science High School in La Spezia renowned for its academic excellence. High school in Italy lasts for five years so I will graduate in 2020. I am trilingual and tricultural speaking Italian, French and English fluently. I frequently travel to the US to visit my Aunt and Uncle in California and in April 2017 I will be in Atlanta visiting my cousin. Previous travels to the US have included visits to New York, Long Island, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii.
My club soccer career began in Italy at the age of 5 and I have been fortunate to have received excellent club coaching for the last 11 years, the last 4 years of which have been spent at USD Canaletto Sepor in La Spezia, Liguria, reaching the regional finals this year.
I am naturally left-footed but equally skilled with my right foot and my preferred position is outside back.
After graduating from italian high school in 2020, my ambition is to pursue an undergraduate degree in science at college in the US whilst using my technical soccer skills to contribute to a successful college soccer team.
