I played recreational and competitive soccer from four to eighteen years old. Through dedicated efforts, I excelled in both club and high school soccer and earned a spot on the ODP Roster in Arizona. I was recruited as a goalkeeper in both NCAA Division I and II schools, but due to a lack of knowledge regarding the college recruiting process, and an unfortunate hand injury, I decided to follow my passion of sports off of the playing field.

At the University of Arizona I earned a bachelor’s degree in Finance with a minor in Sports Management. I also had the chance to intern in the athletic department at the U of A, as well as FC Tucson’s professional soccer club. I want to make a difference at NCSA by assisting young athletes and their families by helping them understand, and prepare for the recruiting process while the opportunity is still there.

When not at work, I enjoy following collegiate and professional sports which include basketball, football, golf, and soccer, just to name a few. I also look for opportunities to attend events in person in order to take in the full game and venue experience. My study abroad opportunity to France and Spain has ignited a desire to travel and explore new cultures, foods, and sports throughout the world.
