Next Level U Statement
I would like to pursue my goal of playing golf at the collegiate level while obtaining a 4 year degree in business or engineering. I bring not only golf skills but kindness, competitiveness, hard work and focus. I excel at being an excellent team member, and would be a great fit not only to the golf team, but the school programs as well.

I have confidence off the tee, a strong short-game, and can scramble around the greens effectively.
I have been working hard on my mental strength to regain focus and composure after a bad hole or bad shot, as well as being able to stay locked in while leading the tournament or having to make the cut with a certain score.
