I first picked up a lacrosse stick at the age of six, and immediately fell in love with the game. Ever since, I have played and coached for many teams and clinics. I am a highly coachable and competitive athlete, eager to take advantage of every opportunity to become the best student, athlete and teammate possible. I love gaining experience by playing the best of the best, and learning to play multiple positions. I started as a midfielder at a young age, switched to defense and now am a long stick midfielder. Whatever I can do to help my team be the best they can be, I’m willing to do it. To me, athletics is more than just being an athlete. It’s also a way to become a leader and a better student. Lacrosse has taught me the importance of leadership and dedication both on the field, in my community and in the classroom. Every week I attend a local food and clothing drive to support my community, and encourage my brothers to come along when possible. In school, I currently take AP US history, alongside honors English, Spanish and band. I have played the piano for 5 years now, and am currently learning to play other percussion instruments. When it comes to choosing a college, I want to go somewhere that I can make an impact. Whether it be on the field, in the weight room, in the classroom or in the community, I’m willing to put in the effort and push myself to succeed.
