_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I am starting my Senior Year at Kings High School in Shoreline.

I train on my own in skills, weights, cardio and with GK coaches Stephen Swanger of FAIRO, Ben Willis of Strong-Willed Training and Ben Dragavon at GK Complete.

I played Club Soccer with Seattle Celtic, Seattle United and Eagleclaw Valencia CF Academy.

I played a key role with my team in the 2022 Washington state divisional High School Tournament.

I have competed in the National Cup regionals (2021), Xtreme cup (2021), Sounders FC Cup (2021), Phoenix Cup (2022).

We won our division U19 Copa Surf Cup (2022). My team (Valencia Academy Seattle) played well with 70% possession, pressed well, capitalized on set pieces, and kept the ball out of the net. It was a great experience and I lead, communicated and organized my defense. Winning felt great and I am striving to play just as well in the tournaments I have in the future.

I carry a 3.82 GPA and excel in difficult courses.
