UC Santa Cruz

"I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to carry on my athletic and academic career playing soccer at the University of California Santa Cruz!

Thank you so much to my mom and dad who never stopped believing that I could make this dream come true and for making sure that I was using every opportunity I was given to become a better player and person. Thank you to my little sister Sienna, who always had the loudest voice in the stands cheering me on and for always having a big cheesy smile on her face after every game (even if we lost). To my grandparents and my uncle Scott, thank you for taking the time out of your lives to come watch me play and for always backing me up on my choices moving forward in life. I owe every bit of this tremendous accomplishment to all of you!

I’m also so extremely grateful for all my coaches at ALBION SC for making me into a better player and for helping me build more confidence as a player moving forward. I’d also like to thank my teammates from my previous team, the 07/08’s for being such great friends of mine and for always being there for me and laughing at all my jokes. I miss all of you. And thank you to my current team, the 08/09’s for welcoming me onto their team and for making me feel like I can do anything as long as I have them running up the side line with me. And finally, thank you so much to Coach Tony and Coach Nadler for awarding me with this opportunity and believing that I can make a difference! GO SLUGS!"
