I am from Calgary, Alberta and moved from my family in August 2025 to Wichita, Kansas to play for FC Wichita and attend Life Preparatory Academy. I also played for the Wichita Lady Luck in the Major Arena Soccer League – Women’s which was a great experience and allowed me to stay on the ball and continue to develop my close quarters skills during the off season.

I am now playing for the Life Preparatory Academy Varsity Girls High School team.

I feel my decision to move to Wichita has been beneficial in helping me grow as a person and to continuously develop my soccer skills so I can obtain a scholarship and become the best version of me, and student athlete, I can possibly be.
