Raised in a humble rural community in Nova Scotia, Canada, I grew up in an environment that values discipline, honesty, and responsibility, shaping who I am both on and off the pitch. I began playing soccer at four years old, and from the moment I first touched the ball, I knew the sport was something special to me. 

Between the ages of seven and fifteen, I began competing in multiple sports, including tennis, cross-country, track and field, volleyball, and badminton; however, soccer has always been my top priority and became the sole focus of my athletic career after middle school. Through years of training and competition, soccer has taught me essential life skills such as patience, dedication, and trusting the process, lessons I apply daily. This journey has led to being scouted by Valencia CF Academy Canada, where I face challenges I’ve never encountered before, such as being over 1,250 km from home, playing against semi-pro clubs both inside and outside Canada, and more.

As a student-athlete, my goal is to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 through high school until graduation, earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science/Kinesiology, and, all the while, compete at the highest collegiate level possible. Balancing academics with elite-level soccer has presented challenges, including time management demands and the pressure of high-level competition. But these obstacles have strengthened my resilience, determination, and character, contributing significantly to my personal growth. Known for my coachability, maturity, and relentless work ethic, I aim to be a reliable, positive presence who elevates both team culture and performance.
