I am attending Valencia College with plans to finish my studies at the University of Central Florida. I decided to focus more on my education rather than athletics.

What I love most about NCSA is working alongside the countless families who all have the same goal in mind. What is that goal? Reaching that next step. It was the same goal a younger version of myself once had as well. I look forward to each day of work knowing I’m helping students and families do that!

I graduated high school class of 2022 here in Kissimmee Florida. I understand that same feeling of giddiness and excitement of most student-athletes have because I was in their shoes just a couple of years ago. I know this is an exciting time.

Originally being from Rhode Island I moved to Florida at just 7 months old. Growing up in a Central American household my first love in the sports world was soccer. My dad, brothers, uncles, and cousins all played soccer growing up. Just like them, that’s what I grew up playing too. Goalie and defense were my positions and I loved every minute of it. Until my best friend introduced me to basketball which quite literally was “love at first sight” After my senior season ended I knew it was time to find a new love. That new love turned into the weight room.
