Recruit Profile
Starting Varsity Defender: Determined, coachable, self-motivated, quick, aggressive team player. High Lax IQ mixed with advanced stick skills. 4.40 weighted GPA, Freshman on Varsity (multi-sport athlete- Varsity Field Hockey)
Lacrosse has been my main sport since 3rd grade. I've always loved being a defender and being able to shut down an offense. I recently joined the Metro Lacrosse Club. I am extremely confident bringing the ball up the field and creating opportunities for the offense. I dominate 50/50 ground balls. I love speed training and footwork. Most of all I love being part of a team and forming relationships with my teammates and coaches.
I attend Northern Highlands Regional Highschool and take my school work very seriously. In my sophomore high school season, I had the most ground balls and forced turnovers on my team. I ended the season with 40 ground balls, and 27 forced turnovers. I was honored to be nominated for the North Jersey Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year. I also received 1st team All League, 2nd team All Bergen County, 1st Team All North Jersey, and 3rd Team All State Group 3.
I am in all honors classes this year and have a 4.40 GPA. I am a member of National Honors Society. I am also very involved in a volunteer organization called Bounce Out the Stigma for the last 3 years and spent over 25 hours this year volunteering there. I am the treasurer of the Unicef club, and also an active member of the TedEd and DECA club at school. I also write for the high school newspaper "The Fling." I am a multi sport athlete and play varsity Field Hockey as a defender. In my downtime I love skiing in the winter and going to Long Beach Island, NJ in the summer.
