What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

She loves the game of soccer. She's a versatile player in many positions on the field. Wherever her team needs her, she loves being the one that can make it happen. She loves the experiences and opportunities the game brings! She loves that theres always room for growth and things to learn about the game. She loves putting in the hard work and showcasing it in scrimmages, games, tournaments, and practices! Wrestling and Track are her seasonal sports and she strives to be the best she can be!

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Her biggest inspirations would be Portland Thorns players & the young NWSL players that are changing the game for young girls everywhere! Legends are at the the top, but players like Olivia Moultrie, Sam Coffey, Sam Hiatt, Morgan Weaver, Sophia Smith, and so many more are at the top. Most importantly her family inspires and encourages her every day on and off the field and will always believe in her. She can and will do anything she sets her mind too!

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

My proudest moments in her athletic journey is usually her sportsmanship and leadership! Whether it's a game or scrimmage and an opponent is hurt or loses, she is always lending her hand out to them. Her leadership is exceptional. No matter how hard days can be, she always overcomes anything thrown at her and takes pride in her captain position and holds that with appreciation and pride. She makes me proud every day when shes growing, learning, and being true to herself!
