Next Level U Statement
My goal is to play competitive university soccer while pursuing an engineering or business degree at a strong academic university. I am looking for a program where I can continue developing as a player, compete at the highest level possible, and contribute to my team both on and off the field.
I believe I am a strong candidate because I am a versatile, composed, and possession-oriented player who can play center midfield, fullback, and center back. I take pride in my soccer IQ, work rate, and ability to make good decisions under pressure. In 2025, I played and started a year up with Aurora 08 OPDL, one of the top-ranked 2008 teams in Canada. I now play for and captain Aurora 09 OPDL.
What separates me is the combination of my athletic and academic goals. I have competed at a high level in Ontario and internationally, including multiple stints with Real Valladolid and Prime Academy in Spain, while maintaining a 96.5% Grade 11 average. I am motivated to keep improving, take coaching seriously, and contribute wherever my team needs me.
