Recruit Profile
Coachable player with strong lacrosse IQ, Leader who is selfless and disciplined. Aggressive attacker with positive team attitude

I started playing lacrosse at age 9 on the local rec team. I started playing for Pittsburgh Premier Lacrosse Club team when I was 12. I have played attack, midfield and defense but I have made the biggest impact as an Attacker on my High School team and at Pittsburgh Premier lacrosse. I was a freshman starter on my High School lacrosse team and a leading scorer with over 45 goals and 24 assists this recent season as a Freshman. I continued the same drive with scoring and assisting in my sophomore year with 37 goals ans 23 Assists. I love to create a play.although I love to score I enjoy assisting and setting a pick for a score just as much, if not more. My HS coach has described me in the local newspapers as a strong and aggressive attacker. I am a right hand shooter but can finish strong left. I am coachable and always eager to learn more about the game.
My academic success is extremely important to me. I am enrolled in Advanced and AP classes and have completed my sophpmore year with a 4.3 GPA. I am involved in Student Council, German Club and Key Club. My 2 older siblings and I are the founders of SHORE BLESSINGS, Avalon NJ which is a food collection program designed to collect nonperishable food from renters at departure from their week at the shore.
