Vera leads with heart—kind, focused, and fierce. She trains beyond club soccer with futsal and privates to grow every single week!
Thank you for generously supporting Vera in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Vera loves the fun of the game, the friends she makes, the thrill of winning, and pushing herself to get better every practice. She’s all about the challenge and the celebration after a goal!
Vera is inspired by Alyssa and Gisele Thompson from Angel City FC. She loves how fast, fearless, and fun they are on the field!
The proudest moment was when Vera made the LAFC club team. The coaches once said she wasn’t quite ready for club level, and now she’s one of the best on the team! She proved hard work (and a big love for the game) can change everything.
