Recruit Profile
I have a strong work ethic, athletic, and I am always looking for ways to improve my skills, lax knowledge.
I started playing lacrosse at U9. I originally started playing midi until U14. After U14, my coaches needed more defenders on the team. It was actually a great positional move for me, I enjoy using my athleticism and aggressive style of play to help out my team.
Once in high school, I knew I wanted to keep playing lacrosse in college. At Livermore High School, I started for my JV team and was awarded MVP for defense. I was also pulled up to varsity as a freshman and started at our first home lacrosse playoff game. In my sophomore year, I was All League East Bay Athletic League (Honorable Mention) as a DEFENDER. I have also played 3 years for Encore (East Bay Aces) and TeamNorcal for summer travel lacrosse.
I have a strong work ethic which I know will help me out at the college level. I am always looking for ways to improve my skills, knowledge, and team play every time I am on the field. My teammates look to me as a leader, I am always talking with my other defenders and goalie. While playing in the EBAL, I faced many players that have gone onto play at the D1 level in college. I dont let the tough situation or games get me down. I always try to have a positive attitude no matter the score.
Off the lacrosse field, I am a committed student. I focus on my studies and achieve the best GPA I can while taking demanding courses such as calculus, engineering, chemistry and physics. I am in currently enrolled in Green Engineering Academy at Livermore High. I hope to study a STEM degree in college. I was also on the football (FRESH), soccer (JV), cross-country (JV) and track (VAR) teams.
Outside of athletics and school, I worked for Outback Adventures and American Swim Academy. I have also volunteered as camp councilor for Camp Monte Toyon.
I am ready for my next chapter in my life, education, and lacrosse.
