Interested in playing soccer at a Post-Secondary institution where I can exhibit my strengths and skills as a soccer player while pursuing an education in the arts. As a captain, my goal is to always lead the team with a positive attitude, and I achieve that through my calmness of play making. I show up to every game and practice with a serious and motivated mindset. My knowledge of the game offers a threatening advantage to any team by creating multiple opportunities. I have an exceptional work ethic and I am constantly striving to improve my academics and athletics on my own time.
