2021 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I play for Reeths-Puffer High School and Michigan Fire Jrs 05 National Elite Academy. My goals are to one day play professional soccer in Europe and to play for a competitive college program, while obtaining a quality education in a health & human service field for a great life after soccer. For my club season, I hope to win our state cup and be at the top of the table in our national academy. I play with heart and passion. Some of my elite attributes are great vision and I am reliable on the ball. In each game and training I hope to improve and make my teammates better.
Through the game of soccer, I have learned that each day to have a positive influence on the people around me and realize what an honor it is to be able to grow as a person through the discipline, coaching and culture of the club and teams I play. My hope is to use the platform of soccer to leave a positive impact on the community I live and the people that I walk in life.
