More About
Me
Family
My family has always been a strong foundation in my life. Being adopted and having a twin brother has given me a unique perspective on the bonds that go beyond genetics. My parents and brother have always been my biggest supporters, encouraging me to chase my dreams and embrace every opportunity. Their unwavering love and guidance have shaped me into the person I am today, and I’m forever grateful for the sense of belonging and strength they've instilled in me.
My Life with Soccer
Soccer has always been more than just a sport to me, it’s been a lifelong outlet, a source of motivation, and a defining part of my identity. From my earliest days on the field to my current experiences coaching and mentoring others, the game has shaped my character in ways I never expected. It’s taught me how to lead by example, how to stay composed under pressure, and how to navigate both victory and defeat with grace.
Over the years, I’ve grown to appreciate the deeper values soccer provides. The importance of discipline, the necessity of clear communication, and the power of working together toward a shared goal. Whether I was organizing team logistics, supporting teammates during tough moments, or stepping up to lead in high-stakes situations, I found myself naturally drawn to roles where I could make a difference through structure, positivity, and strategic thinking.
Beyond the competitive aspect, soccer has influenced how I approach life’s challenges. It’s helped me build a resilient mindset, one that embraces growth, learns from setbacks, and remains optimistic even in uncertainty. The relationships I’ve formed through the game, with teammates, coaches, and the young players I’ve had the chance to coach, have shown me the true value of connection and shared effort.
These experiences have sparked a deep passion for fostering supportive environments where people can thrive.
Whether I’m on the field or pursuing goals off it, I carry the lessons of soccer with me. I believe in staying focused on what matters, adapting when needed, and showing up every day ready to give my best. Above all, I’m committed to building community, leading with intention, and always moving forward—together.
