Education Goals?
“There are a few different areas of study I am interested in! My main choice of study would be something within media/ journalism. I think it would be a great opportunity to be a part of an industry that can be carried over into many different things whether it is sports or something else.”
College Goals?
“My college goals are to play soccer at a competitive level where I am able to get a solid education studying at the same time. In college, I am wanting to experience playing with other athletes who value their education and sport as much as I do. I want to walk away from the college experience having tried my hardest in my studies and getting the most out of a good education with the opportunity I am provided with”
Why do you want to compete in College Soccer as a Winger / Attacking Player in the USA?
“I want to compete in college as I think it is such a great experience meeting people from all over the world, learning about different cultures, and playing the styles of the game. I think playing soccer in college allows me to see what some of the best athletes in the world look like. Being able to play in a high setting with other athletes who have the same passion as I do but having support from college professors / teachers / mentors to understand what we do is something I look forward to”
What makes you different?
“What makes me different from other athletes is that I love doing things that will better other people, I enjoy coaching and helping out in my soccer community so everyone is privileged to the same opportunities I’ve been provided with. I find I am a very hard worker, if there is a job that needs to be done I will work hard until it is finished at high quality”
Life Goals?
“My life goal is to help change the game in women’s sports. Helping to make women’s sports just as equal to men’s sports. Helping young athletes grow up to get the same training and opportunities as boys/men’s competitions do”
