I’m a hardworking, determined, and ambitious person and goalkeeper. I have a high soccer IQ, and I love to watch game film, professional and my own, and analyze and break down different tactics and techniques that I can transfer into my own game. I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. I’ve played for Scottish United for 6 years (U10-present). I am currently a goalkeeper for the Whitecaps FC Edmonton Academy (REX/Regional Excellence Program), I was a part of Edmonton Scottish Angels CNL startup semi-pro team this summer (June-August 2021) and trained with former NCAA Div. 1 players, former national team players, and current USport players.

I was Player of the Match and Starting 11 (Overall) Goalkeeper at the FTF Calgary Combine (Oct. 2021), Scottish Angels Premier League starting goalkeeper (League Champions, Aug. 2021), have “trialisted” and trained with Scottish United Major League (2020-present), Scottish United U15 Bronze Medallist in Caledonia Cup (Nov. 2019), Silver medallist in the Dugan tournament (August 2019) Scottish United U17 Bronze medallist in the Caledonia Cup (Nov. 2021) Invited to the All-Stars Montreal FTF x Sports Ambitions showcase in March 2022, ranked #14 overall in FTF Canada’s Class of 2023 rankings (2021), and was the highest ranked goalkeeper in those same rankings.
