Recruit Profile
Tenacious midfield/attack player with 9 years experience. A team-player with leadership qualities on and off the field. A multi-sport athlete with a strong lefty shot, quick feet, and coachable. Lax-IQ

For the past nine years, I have been most comfortable playing midfield and attack, but I am always prepared to jump to defense. I am a team player willing to try new things to benefit the team. As my lacrosse skills have improved, and I have grown, I learned to become comfortable using both hands on the field. I had a great opportunity to play for my town team for seven years, and be held as captain for the last two years that I played. Not only was I selected as captain, but I played in the Shore Conference All-Star game, representing Stafford Township.

I currently play as an attacker for Jersey Shore Select 2023 Blue (#11). I have grown my skills rapidly over the past few years. As a lefty, I have a huge advantage that helps my game in a variety of ways. I can strongly crease-roll to cage, play transition defense, and feed to a cutter from "X". I train daily on my own whether I go for a run, lift weights, or practice for hours at a time in my backyard. A great goal of mine is to improve my game each day, and advance my skills and lacrosse IQ, so that I can play at the collegiate level.

On top of lacrosse, I play Southern Regional Field Hockey. Playing Field Hockey in the fall gives me the opportunity to stay in shape for lacrosse season, and being a multi-sport athlete is so important to me. I take all Honors, Advanced, and AP classes, and held a 97.14% average my Freshman year, and a 96.67% my sophomore year. I work extremely hard in school in order to maintain my Honor Roll and High Honor Roll averages.

I take part in Key Club and Interact Club after school during my free time. For four years now, I have been a member of Davids Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation. Our goal is to cheer up and raise money for cancer patients, typically little kids. I volunteer at a Pancake Breakfast two times a year and serve the community breakfast to those who support. In the past, I was in National Junior Honors Society and look forward to applying to National Honors Society during my Junior year.
