What motivates you to work hard?

My passion for the game motivates me to work hard. Soccer is my favorite thing in the world, so I push myself as hard as possible to have the opportunity to continue playing the game I love in college.

If you had one wish to improve your game what would it be?

I would wish for improved spatial awareness, knowing where dangerous and free space is with the ball and where to cover defensively without it.

What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is losing touch with the game of soccer as I grow older. It's part of the reason I wanted to come to IDA, to spend a year playing at a completely new level and provide myself with opportunities to learn more about the game and continue my journey with soccer as a player and or coach in the future.

What is your super strength?

My super strength is my intelligence. I've always thrived in the classroom, and my intelligence is one of my most notable traits on the field as well.

Is your glass half full or empty?

Always half-full
