Next Level U Statement
Soccer and aviation have always been two of my biggest passions. I currently play center back for Waterloo United U17 OPDL. On the field, I’m vocal and organized defensively. I give everything I’ve got every time I step on the field, and I’m known for my intensity, focus, and commitment to doing whatever it takes to help my team succeed. Off the field, I hope to study aeronautics/aviation, because becoming a pilot has always been a dream of mine. I’m looking for a program where I can grow as a student-athlete, compete at a high level, and be surrounded by people who push me to be better every day.
