2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I finished up an amazing season of soccer for 2023 and couldn't be more proud of all we accomplished for our FC Dallas club and High School, winning the ECRL Texas League and winning another state championship after our perfect 29-0 season at Celina HS. I'm excited about my Senior year and will be playing my 7th season for FC Dallas in the ECNL RL Texas League. I've had a busy summer attending soccer ID camps and happy to have many coaches reaching out to me with great opportunities to continue my college career. I am a highly competitive defensive specialist who can play everywhere on the back line. I excel in 1v1 defending and utilize my athletic ability and high soccer IQ to give our team the best chance for success. I really enjoy playing outside back and helping our team score more goals off counter attacks that I help create.
I am an excellent student and am currently ranked in the Top 5% of my class with a 4.47 GPA. I push myself to best the best person and soccer player with a great attitude and always put the team first. I'm hoping to commit to a college team within the next several months and am so thankful for the support of my parents and coaches who help encourage me to give my very best every day!
