USC Women's Soccer Commit 2022: ---- I will never forget the day head coach, Keidane McAlpine of the USC Women's Soccer program called me which was June 15th, 2020. That call confirmed to me that this might be a possibility, while also knowing he was looking at several potential recruits across the nation. ---- I knew at that moment, I needed to train harder than ever if I was going to have a chance at a spot for 2022 and open the door to the top 25 academic schools. I am hard working, reliable, open minded, and easy to coach. I get along with people easily, and adjust to new situations well. I seek opportunities to be a kind leader, while bringing discipline and consistency. I am a good communicator and consider myself to be well spoken which has led to me being voted team captain for 3 years straight. I challenge myself both academically and athletically by taking a rigorous course load and then leave the school day to train with top players. I am in a constant state of balancing my passions and commitments. I strive to create game and personal scoring opportunities for those around me, both on and off the field. Coaches and mentors often comment on my strong work ethic and ability to know what I want from my games and out of life. I bring a focus and attacking mindset to my practices and games. I am always improving as a result of my dedication and hard work. I continue to be a student to learn and grow in my sport and will keep challenging myself to be the captain of my own growth. soaringsamaritansyouthmovement.org and soarjewels.com
