Academics 

Being a student-athlete can definitely be challenging at times, but with good time management and a strong work ethic, it’s totally doable. Throughout my freshman and sophomore years, I’ve been in three honors classes, and in my junior year, I’ll be taking two honors classes and two AP classes. Despite my chaotic schedule, I’ve maintained a 3.75 GPA, putting me at the top of my class.

  • 3.75 GPA
  • Dean’s list past 3 years, 8th grade, Freshman, and Sophomore 
  • Leader of Fellowship Christian Athletes Club
  • Leader of 4680 Mental Health Club
  • Currently have 28 Service Hours

Strengths

Although I excel in the classroom, I also have many strengths on the field. My speed is my biggest strength allowing me to get past defenders quickly. I can use both my left and my right foot when needed, which comes in handy tactically. I’m skilled at maintaining possession of the ball and delivering strong tackles. My moves are pretty strategic, helping me navigate the field. I’m super competitive and focus on getting better every single day. Also bouncing back from an ankle surgery on the soccer field improved my strength and resilience.

In 2015, I joined the Tennessee Soccer Club, transitioning from rec soccer in Second Grade. I held my spot on the top team until fifth grade in 2019 when I faced a setback with a broken foot. Despite being moved down three teams because of that I didn’t give up. Through hard work and determination, I made my way back up and now play on the second best team, ENCL RL. I truly believe that my resilience and motivation have been key in my journey. I’m excited to see how these qualities will continue to shape my future.
