I am a 2024 CB/DCM for Real Colorado. I have experience at both ECNL and Elite 64 within the club. My best soccer assets are my ball winning ability, building out of the back with confidence, and powerful strike to switch the play or score from distance. I am also very athletic and a bigger, stronger player physically which gives me an advantage while playing. I have learned so much about myself by playing soccer. Through losses and wins I found that I have a competitive edge and determination that will rise to any challenge. In order for me to play at the level I am playing, I have to commute over an hour each way to practice. The commitment to soccer has made me become disciplined as a student and diligent with my time management.

Academics have always been a priority for me. I have always strived to have the best grades in school and to challenge myself to take hard classes. My hope for academics in high school is to graduate top of my class. I have a 4.0 GPA and will be taking the SAT soon.

I am looking for a university soccer program where I can challenge for a starting spot while getting pushed and challenged every day to make myself and my team reach its highest potential.
