Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

This can be summed up as dynamic & high-energy. I rely on my fast hand speed and athleticism to make quick plays, while my explosive energy fuels my performance on the field. I excel in fast lateral movement, allowing me to pivot and react swiftly. Coupled with great communication & solid stick skills, I effectively contribute to both offense & defense, ensuring my team stays competitive.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am pretty laid-back and quiet off the field, but once I step into the cage, it's like a switch flips. I turn into this totally different person, bringing a crazy energy to the game. I’m not easily rattled, and I thrive on tough competition because I know it pushes me to be a better goalie. My mindset is all about rising to the challenge and giving it my all.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am a part of the Science National Honor Society, National Society of High School Scholars, Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), Leadership Entrepreneurship Opportunity Program (L.E.O) and The Big Brother Club.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I've developed strong leadership skills through DECA, LEO, The Big Brother Club, and various goalie trainings, which help me motivate my teammates. I value teamwork and effective communication, and volunteering at my local Food Pantry has deepened my sense of responsibility and community connection, allowing me to give back.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

A challenge I face is marketing myself as a top lacrosse goalie with limited local opportunities in my area. To pursue my goals, I travel an hour for a top high school and two hours for a competitive club team that provides premier competition. Despite this demanding schedule, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA, showcasing my dedication to both academics and my athletic aspirations.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that offers a strong balance between academics and athletics, where I can continue to excel as a lacrosse goalie while pursuing my academic interests. I seek a supportive environment with a strong lacrosse team and a focus on personal growth. A school that values teamwork and community involvement, and helps me grow both on and off the field would be perfect for me.
