Next Level U Statement
My objective is to play soccer at the next level while studying kinesiology at university. As a high impact, versatile defender I bring skill, speed and tenacity to the field. With strong IQ and composure, I win the ball from the opponent, keep possession and penetrate forward into the attack to create scoring opportunities for the team. Brave to lead while supporting strategies and ensuring execution to enhance team performance.
