WHY DID I CHOOSE TO ATTEND AUGSBURG: I chose Augsburg because it provides the perfect balance of strong academics, a competitive soccer program and a culture that feels like family. I wanted to challenge myself both on the field and in the classroom, while joining a program that competes for conference championships and NCAA tournament opportunities.
ATHLETIC GOAL AT AUGSBURG: My goal is to help Augsburg compete for conference championships, make deep runs in the NCAA tournament, continue developing as a complete midfielder, and leave the program better than I found it.
BIGGEST THRILL IN ATHLETICS: Competing in meaningful games where the team is playing for championships. There’s nothing better than celebrating big wins with teammates after all the hard work that goes into preparing for those moments.
WHAT AM I MOST THANKFUL FOR: I’m most thankful for my family, friends, coaches, teammates and everyone who has supported me throughout my soccer journey. Their belief in me has helped me become the player and person I am today.
