Highlight Video
I have been dedicated to the game of soccer since the age of three, and it has grown into a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve competed with several high-level clubs, starting by earning a spot on my high school’s varsity team as an 8th grader.
In 2024, I was selected for the LaLiga Select program in Madrid, where I had the privilege of training under LaLiga academy coaches and competing against top-tier academies such as Atlético de Madrid and C.D. Leganés. Later that year, I was recruited to study and train at Rome City Prep Academy in Italy, where I spent my entire junior year living abroad. While there, I trained under Serie A and professional-level coaches, significantly enhancing my technical skills, tactical understanding, and overall development as a player.
This international experience also shaped me academically and personally, helping me thrive in a highly competitive and diverse environment. I am now a senior at Calvary Christian High School in Clearwater, Florida, and I am actively pursuing the opportunity to play collegiate soccer in the U.S. I’m excited to bring my work ethic, leadership, and dedication to excellence to a college program.
