Why did you choose to come to Wayland? Wayland has a lot to offer me and I know I will be a better person after I graduate. The campus is beautiful, the majors are extensive and the team seems great. I cannot wait to represent Wayland.

How did you get started playing soccer and how old were you? I was seven years old when my mother took me to a soccer camp in which I was the worst player there, but I couldn’t help falling in love with the game.

What has been your proudest athletic achievement to date? Moving to America and earning first team all-conference honors. Also, I had a goal of going to the sophomore showcase and I achieved it!

What do you feel like you bring to your team, both athletically and personally? Athletically, I bring support to the defense. Personally, I am very supportive, even when mistakes are made.

What are you goals for the future after college? I would like to get a good job and hopefully continue my soccer career. I would also like to have no regrets during my time at Wayland and know that I left it all on the field.
