Recruit Profile
Excellent Field Vision. Relentless. Determined and Competitive. Committed Athlete, Student, and Leader.

I started playing lacrosse in 3rd grade. As an attacker, I am confident and consistent in equally feeding assists and going to goal. I demonstrate high lacrosse IQ with great field vision from behind and around the net, working equally as hard re-defending the clear to the opposite 30. I am consistently called on by coach to instruct and lead offensive coaching on the field during the game to set up, score, and distribute the ball. I am comfortable with both hands, aggressive to ground balls, and hustle to get more offensive opportunities for my team.

I completed the 2021 season as a 2nd Year Varsity Starter and was honored to be recognized and named a 2021 High School ALL-STATE as well as being named Athletes Unlimited Futures Athlete for a 2nd year. This year I was selected for Adrenaline All-American 2022.

In our first full season, my High School Team, Anderson Girls Lacrosse, were State Semi-Finalists. I completed this year with a total of (56 Points); (40 Goals), (16 Assists), and (29 GB's) remaining with a high level of accuracy for shots on goal. Lettering last year as a Freshman Varsity Starter for Anderson Girls Lacrosse, I averaged 5 points per game, with an accuracy above 82% and was the 2nd leading scorer on the varsity team before the season ended for many.

In addition to my high school league, I play for Grit Austin/Houston. I have played on Alyssa Murray's travel team for 6 years. I also strength and condition three times a week.

During COVID, I didn't stop. I took advantage of every online training opportunity including weekly virtual small group coaching sessions with Kylie Ohlmiller as well as her KO17 app, Shake School, and Team USA players, to strengthen my stick skills, footwork, and offensive play.

I just completed the year as President and Confidence Mentor for the National Charity League, Capital of Texas Chapter. This year, I am continuing in a lead role as VP of Philanthropy. I am also a Morgans Messager Ambassador as well as continuing to HeadStrong.

Athletics, Grades, and Community Service, combined with a mission to lead are all equally important to me. I successfully completed my Freshman and Sophomore years with all A's, including Pre-AP and AP courses. I was awarded the HOBY Leadership Ambassador for Anderson as a Sophomore as well as being awarded National Honors Society as a Junior.
