I am a well-rounded athlete. Besides playing lacrosse since 3rd grade, I was the Center for football from 3rd grade through freshman year, as well as Co-Captain of my football team. I have been swimming competitively since the age of 5. I am also a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I believe this shows that I am a leader and disciplined in whatever I do, and I would enjoy the commitment it takes to be a collegiate athlete.

I started playing lacrosse in 3rd grade where I played attack (X) for 6 years and switched to midfielder when I started taking face-offs in 9th grade. Since I have experience at other positions, I have a high awareness and skill set for the game so the coach can have confidence in my abilities after the face-off.

I started taking face-offs with no prior experience as a Freshman winning 90%, then I would run down and play attack where I always had played. As a Sophomore I took every face-off for the Varsity team and won 78.5% and started playing middy and was on the man-up unit. Summer as a rising junior, I won 80% of my face-offs in 4 tournaments. Spring of Junior year, I was starting OM & won 77% FO (206/260) with 10G,9A,44GBs. My high school won Leagues and was Team of the Year. I was selected as a NJ States Player to Watch, 1st Team All League, & 3rd Team All County. Summer as a rising senior, I played 49 games and went 420/550 on face-offs - 76%. I also made 3 All Star Games at Gait Cup, UA Shootout, and Battle of the Hot Beds.

I believe my background and hard work in other sports has led me to become a successful face-off specialist because of the timing, quick hands, and physicality of playing Center; the endurance and toughness from swimming; and the balance, focus and discipline from Tae Kwon Do.

I am an Honors student, Peer Leader, and member of Student Council, and Varsity and Club swimmer. My senior year I was elected Executive Council and Captain of the Varsity Lacrosse and Swim teams. I dedicate myself not just to sports but to academics as well and have a 3.73 gpa, 30 ACT, and 1910 SAT.
