Team: Blues FC 09 GA

I am a Goalkeeper and play in the GA, ODP, and UPSL. I am an aggressive and vocal GK. I am fearless and play physical. I can read the entire field and communicate with all my teammates and advise them on their positioning to maximize our formations. I look to push the ball down the field while being strategic with my ball placement. I’ve attended 4 World Cups and I model my play like the international GKs.

I am on the Girls Academy (GA) Advisory Panel as my club’s representative. I advocate for my club on areas of safety and anti-bullying in sports. I am always trying to improve my ability to speak in public, become a cheerleader, and give back to those less fortunate. I learned to sacrifice myself for the good of the team.

I sustained a major injury. During a game, I was kicked in the face and had five teeth knocked out. I worked with dentists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons. My teeth are wired into my mouth and I still don’t know if I will be able to keep my teeth. This made me stronger and taught me how to deal with adversity and appreciate the little things in life. I do not take anything for granted.

I am a straight-A student and in my freshman year of high school, I enrolled at a local community college and took college level pre-med anatomy course and got an A. I was also a girl scout and received many badges and conducted community service to include visiting a retirement home and spending time with the elderly residents.

I am looking for a college that appreciates the skills and leadership qualities I bring. I am a high achieving person and as a Latina, I see myself as a role model for underrepresented girls. A college that values individuality and demands excellence is important to me. I also look for colleges where the faculty support the student body and encourage students to think independently. I hope to some day attend medical school.
