I am a 2026 graduate and a competitive central midfielder with a strong passion for the game and a clear goal of playing soccer at the collegiate level. I pride myself on being a high-IQ, box-to-box midfielder who impacts the game on both sides of the ball through vision, work rate, and leadership.

On the field, my greatest strengths are ball distribution, tactical awareness, and consistency. I am comfortable playing as a holding midfielder or as an attacking link between the back line and forwards. I excel at switching the point of attack, breaking lines with accurate passes, and maintaining possession under pressure. Defensively, I am disciplined, positionally sound, and committed to winning second balls and organizing teammates. I value doing the small things well—pressing intelligently, communicating constantly, and setting the tempo of play.
