Ever since age 2 it's been my dream to be a pro footballer. I am the athlete of the year because of my love and dedication for the sport.

I love how football/soccer allows me to express myself on the field whether through passing, dribbling or scoring a goal. It's where I feel most free, creative and connected with my team. It pushes me to always give of my best. I believe winning with my team is an amazing feeling and accomplishment.
My biggest inspiration is my dad who is a past Olympian. I am also inspired because of my dream to play for Manchester United and to create a better life for my family. The love and support from my family and friends pushes me to train harder, stay disciplined and always believe in myself. Every game played has brought me closer to my dream.
One of the proudest moment in my athletic journey was when I was selected to play in a football/soccer tournament in Madrid, Spain with Real Madrid Foundation. It was a dream come true and reward for my hardwork, dedication, and love for the game.
