2022 Highlights
2024 SpotlightPersonal Statement
I’ve always been a goalkeeper by choice, because I love it! The first time I stood in the keeper box, I was that kid who stood their ground against shots on goal & players in the box. These qualities still stick with me, staying locked in with pure determination and all-out effort.
I am constantly training to become a better goalkeeper, seeking to improve my skills. I am a team player and happy to contribute to my teams. Additionally, I thrive under pressure. I allowed only one goal during the first five rounds of the New York State playoffs and delivered the first shutout in three years to our fourth-round competitor, Mount Academy.
I was selected to my High School Varsity soccer team in 8th grade, at age 12. I started in 5 games and played a total of 7 my first season. In my second Varsity season, I competed against two upper-classmen goalkeepers (12th & 11th) and earned the starting position. For the 2024 season, my high school team was Class B Sectional Champions, Regional Champions, and State Semi-finalists.
In January 2023, I was invited to join the Girls Academy team at NYSC, where we were the 2023 U14 Jefferson Cup Champions.
My college goals are to compete and study at the highest level of athletics and academics. I attended the Bronxville School, a competitive public school ranked #133 in the nation by U.S. News & Report.
Outside of school & sports: I‘ve been a Girl Scout since 2015. I was awarded the Girl Scouts’ Silver Award for making a difference in my community - founding “Fostering Fashion Forward,” a teen-focused clothing drive. I then expanded this project to co-found a partnership with three students at my high school to create the “BXV/MV Partnership” to continue to run additional drives (back to school, winter wear, personal care & a large prom drive ) for the Mount Vernon High School Knights Boutique, a needs-based free store for students within MVHS who are at risk, displaced or in foster care, for which I was awarded Bronxville High School’s 2024 Award for Engaged Citizenship.
