Recruit Profile
Extremely fast, fit, aggressive, coachable team player who is comfortable anywhere on the field. Positive leader on the field and in the classroom.

My strengths on the field are my quickness, speed, aggressiveness and ability to transition or recover to defend. I am a midfielder and a defender, and I love playing both positions! I started lacrosse in 6th grade when Coach Angie Kensinger (Coach K) asked me to play Swizzlesticks, a club that she started in Houston. I had been playing club soccer since the age of 5, and fell in love with the game of lacrosse. Currently, I play for multiple clubs and love improving my skills and lax IQ.

This past lacrosse season, I started at midfield on my school's Varsity lacrosse team (South Zone District Champions and Southwest Preparatory Conference Champions!), and also start on midfield for South Coast 2023. This year's high school season was very special as I got to play with my sister who was a senior(and the captain) and is now playing D1 lacrosse. It was a lot of fun to play with her as we had never been on the same team due to COVID. COVID was hard and my family strictly quarantined. Katina and I played a lot of backyard lax.

Last year I was awarded the Not Without Honor Athletic Award at my high school, which is a prestigious award given to student athletes who exemplify top tier athleticism and sportsmanship. I was nominated as a freshman. I also made WNT Team Texas for lacrosse and the All Star Team at Western Winners Showcase this summer.

I was on the Varsity Soccer team as one of 5 sophomores who made the team, and was recruited to join the Cross Country team this fall due to my speed and endurance. I became the second fastest runner on the team and finished the season with a 5K PR of 20:23 and made All South Zone.

Outside of sports, I love music and took AP Music Theory in school last year - I got a 5 on the AP test! I made the TPMESA All State and All Region choirs. I play piano, guitar, sing, and love hiking, running, photography and food. I have received multiple piano awards and enjoy studying classical piano music and making my own arrangements of music.
