I stepped on the field for the first time when I was 4 years old, and I haven't stopped playing since. Each year as I develop as an athlete and a student, my passion for the game and my dream of playing lacrosse in college continues to grow. What started as recreational fun when I was little, has turned into a full-time passion and commitment. I don't do it because I have to; I do it because I love it. I realize the high level of hard work, determination, and grit that is needed to reach this goal and I plan to give everything inside of me to reach this goal.
I pride myself on having an extraordinarily high lacrosse IQ. I see the field, I see plays develop, I know where to go and where to put the ball. I make good things happen. I thrive on the field with my great passing skills, high level of control and persistence with the ball in my stick, and a passion for winning the ball back. I constantly lead by example, and strive to be the best motivator for my teammates. I cherish feedback as an opportunity to grow as an individual, which makes me a very coachable and positive presence to have on the field with a great value for sportsmanship.
Not only do I work hard on the field, but also in the classroom. I am an all honors student with straight As and a strong desire to achieve. Hard work and determination are at the core of both my academic and athletic life as I've consistently earned Distinguished Honor Roll in each grade, while progressing my athletic career. I also extend my passion for lacrosse into the community. I referee local youth intramural games where I can give back to my community while teaching and playing the sport that I love. My goal is to attend a college that fits my personality, and challenges me in both athletics and academics. With everything accounted for, I aspire to play lacrosse at the highest level, benefiting both the college of my choice and myself. Mainly, I want to be a successful athlete, student, and role model for my peers around me.
