Personal:

A proudest moment or personal highlight in soccer was having the opportunity to train with the Minnesota United reserves team in high-school.

I am a Psychology major. With this major, I’d like to begin practicing as a Sports Psychologist with professional athletes. With a love for sports and how psychological factors influence athletes, this is everything I want. After graduation, I’d like to get involved with a professional team as soon as possible and start working my way up to being alongside the best of the best.

I chose Saint John’s because of the community that is here. The sense of community I felt right away was amazing. I immediately knew it would be my home away from home.

The funniest memories while being on the team are from jamming out to music in the locker room with the boys.
