Personal:

My proudest moments in my career were making 3 state semifinals in 2 years with my club and high school. A personal highlight would be being named as player of the week in a newspaper in Oregon.

My major is finance and my minor is Economics. My personal goal with this is to become a financial analyst at an athletic clothing company like Nike or a professional sports team.

I chose Saint John’s because when I visited I saw the incredible community and educational opportunities that SJU has. The soccer family also was a big influence and I wanted to be part of it once I felt how connected they were.

While being on the team, the funniest moment or memory would be any interaction with Nathan Stone.
