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

What I love most about bowling and soccer is how they challenge me to grow while providing a supportive community and lifelong friendships. Bowling allows me to compete individually and as part of a team while creating scholarship opportunities. Soccer has shaped my life for 12 years, strengthening me mentally and physically while teaching discipline and perseverance. Most importantly, both sports have given me friendships and memories I will always value.

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

My teammates and opponents inspire me to push beyond my limits, raise the level of my game, and never settle for less than my best. Their talent, determination, and competitive spirit motivate me to keep improving as both an athlete and a teammate. Off the field, my greatest inspiration comes from my parents. Their hard work, sacrifices, and unwavering support have given me the opportunity to pursue my goals and become the athlete—and person—I am today.

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

The proudest moment of my athletic journey was qualifying for both State and Nationals as an individual during my sophomore year. That achievement was a turning point—it proved that competing at the highest level was not just a distant goal, but something I was capable of accomplishing. It gave me the confidence and motivation to keep pushing myself, and that hard work has now led to one of my greatest achievements: verbally committing to bowl at the Division I collegiate level.
