About Me

I have been playing soccer since I was three years old, and am looking to continue playing in college. As a defender (wingback, center back), I bring intelligence and creativity to the field, and excellent positional awareness. I am a versatile player, and am comfortable at wing, as well as defensive mid, center back, and even striker or forward. This current season (2025-26), I moved from a 2008 team to play age-pure and was selected for the 2009 ECNL-RL team at FC Europa. As a player, I make chances and create opportunities for my team. I thrive in battle, and never give up. I am looking to continue playing this game I love for as long as I am able, while pursuing an excellent education at the same time. I will bring drive and vision to any program I join. I am interested in studying a STEM related field, and hope to do so at an academically challenging school.

RIGHT

Additional Stats

Versatile utility player, capable of playing anywhere on backline with ease, but specilize as 2 or 3 outside back, 4 or 5 center backs, or 7 or 11 outside mids.

Good field vision and composure on the field.

Strong with both feet, can play left back with ease, but right foot dominant.

My high school soccer team is very low level, so I elected to train privately while playing Varsity Tennis, 3rd Singles instead.

Extracurricular Activities

FC Europa 09 ECNL-RL (2025-26) and High School Soccer (2023-24) - Soccer has been the main sport and love of my life for as long as I can remember. I stopped playing for my high school team after freshman year due to the low level of play, and because my ECNL-RL club team offers a rigorous and disciplined training environment that I felt a more worthwhile use of my time.

Tennis (2025-26) - 3rd singles this year for my high school tennis team while continuing to train with my club for soccer.

YAG (2023-24, 2025-26) - Member of Youth and Government club, simulating Congress and engaging in legislative process. It culminated with a spring weekend in the State House capitol building in Harrisburg, debating and conferencing on bills.

Mentor (2021-present): I mentor/coach younger players through Pennsylvania Rush soccer club, which I greatly enjoy. By assisting more experienced coaches, I learn about on-field coaching, and am able to positively inspire younger players.

Work: Throughout high school, and continuing to the present, I have worked for a local catering company, Seedling and Sage, anywhere from 10-40 hours a month (depending on the season) as a server.
