Throughout my life, I have learned the value of setting goals and working hard to achieve them. It sounds be very original, but for me, it has been the roadmap for my life's path. I truly believe that I wouldn't have experienced or accomplished all of the things I have if I didn't have that mindset​

My life has been pretty ordinary. I grew up and from a very early age, I was attracted to sports - especially soccer. I started playing when I was 4 and have been ever since. It has been more than a game for me. It has taught me life lessons that have influenced my behavior and shaped my character. I played soccer for many teams and clubs, and had one of most significant achievements playing in high-school and winning back-to-back Indiana State Championships, which also included one National Championship. All of that hard work and dedication helped me two reach another childhood goal, and that was to play college soccer at a Division 1 level - and I am proud to be doing that now. 

Throughout all of this, I have been extremely grateful, honored, and humbled. I have been able to do the things I have always wanted to do and I have been blessed with more than I deserve. With every step, my family has been there with me and has been a guiding light to my path.
