Join the CompetitionWhat I love most about playing sports is the excitement of competing. I love challenging myself, setting goals, and seeing how much I can improve. Every practice and game teaches me something new, a better way to work with my teammates, or how to stay positive when things don’t go my way. Sports has taught me that success isn’t just about winning. It’s about putting in the effort, staying determined, and never giving up. I enjoy pushing myself, and I love making memories and friends!
What inspires me is always trying to be the best version of myself. Be who God wants me to be. My coaches, teammates, and family remind me that hard work and a positive attitude matter just as much as talent. I want to keep improving and never give up, even when things get hard. Every challenge helps me grow into a stronger athlete and a better person. I have so many athletes I look up to- Alex Morgan,Rose Lavelle, Midge Purce and Caitlin Clark to name a few.
One of my biggest accomplishments has been getting to play soccer in Spain at the Donosti Cup and represent the USA. It was an amazing experience to compete against teams from around the world, learn about different cultures, and realize how much hard work can open doors. I’ll also never forget scoring the winning header in the last game of the 2025 season! Seeing my team celebrate was so special! Also, winning defensive player of the year and winning the championship in basketball!
