• Why you first chose your sport: Soccer was a way for my cousins and the rest of my family to bond; We were close to the same age, so we played together for many years until we out grew teams
• Biggest mental challenge in your sport: After having tons of success, winning a championship, appearing 2 time in NCAA's, receiving awards...what's next, how can you level up? The biggest challenge is beating out yourself.
• Interesting Notes:On the close of my college career, I can say I've accomplished everything I ever wanted out of soccer on a personal level. I'm so proud of myself but most of all I'm so thankful for my parents for never letting me quit. My parents are the reason for my success and the reason I keep going.
