What do you want to pursue with your degree?: I hope to play professional soccer overseas or in the US.

Who inspires you and why?: My parents inspire me because of how working they are. Through all trials and tribulations, they persevered and continued to believe in themselves when no one else did.

Favorite soccer memory?: One of my favorite soccer memories is after winning the regional championship for the first time for my highschool, we jumped in the lake next to the field and then threw one of our coaches in also!

Why did you choose Sioux Falls City FC?: I chose Sioux Falls City FC because of the competitive atmosphere and professional environment. But also, something that really drew me to SFCFC was the community. I met a few of the girls on FaceTime before deciding to come here. I could tell they all wanted the best for each other and pushed each other to be their best. The girls emphasized how close they were off the field, and that this club was more than just about the game. And after coming here, that couldn’t be more true!

Biography

I started playing soccer around the age of 3 or 4 and loved it ever since. I have gone through many trials that tested me and my commitment to the sport. After each setback, I worked harder and harder to get back to where I was and even better. Through everything, I have continued to trust the process and keep my head down. I’ve always had the dream of playing soccer in college and pro since I was little. So far, I am playing at a Division 1 school and leading the team as a captain. I hope to play professionally after college.
