I first picked up a lacrosse stick in third grade. I was the starting defenseman on my club team, before I was moved to LSM for my quick reflexes and good ground ball skills because our starting LSM broke their arm. In High School, I am a starting defenseman as a Sophomore and helped lead our team to one of the best seasons in school history. I take pride in both my unwillingness to let dodgers near the cage, as well as my off-ball talking and sliding skills. Academically, I have a 4.0 GPA, and this year I am taking AP Government, AP Physics-Calculus, College Spanish through SUNY Albany, Pre-Calculus Honors and IB English. I also play on my high school basketball team, and I feel that being a 6'3", 165 lb person is a major benefit in both basketball and lacrosse. I also feel that my defensive footwork and off-ball defense translate very well between both basketball and lacrosse. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, reading a book, watching the occasional Youtube video, doing defensive drills, and hitting the wall. As I begin my college search, I am looking into programs focusing on careers in the sciences such as engineering or biomedical sciences. As far as the future, I hope that whatever I do or wherever I go, I will make a postive impact in this world.
