I am beyond blessed and excited to announce my verbal commitment to play soccer and continue my academic career at Christopher Newport University!
First, I would like to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity! My mom, dad, brother and grandparents for always believing in me and being by my side throughout this journey. Thank you for everything you do for me and for always helping me chase my dreams. I also want to thank my close friends and teammates for all the memories, and for always pushing me to become a better player each day.
Thank you to Coach Alex, Coach Bobby, Coach Matt, and the rest of the VDA staff for guiding me throughout this process and helping me to get to where I am today. I would also like to thank Coach Ryan for introducing me to travel soccer, and Coach Campbell, Coach Gerardo, Coach Manya, Coach Rhys, and Coach Andres for helping me develop as a player throughout the years.
Lastly, a huge thank you to Coach Gunderson and Coach Killion, as well as the entire CNU women’s soccer staff, for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to be part of such an amazing program! I can’t wait to get started and I am so excited for what’s next!
Go Captains!! 💙🤍

A fun one against a tough Arlington team! 🥅⚽️ This game gave me plenty of opportunities to make saves, control my box, and stay connected with my back line.
Proud of the clean sheet and even more grateful for my teammates who make these moments so much fun. I really love getting to do this! ❤️

Recently got some extra GK work in focused on 1v1s—working on reading the play, staying composed, and trusting my decisions. Extra reps now so I’m ready when the moments matter. 🥅💪
Excited to put the work into action in these upcoming games:
📅 Sept. 19th — Fairfax VA Union (MA Cup) | 3pm
📅 Sept. 20th — Arlington (MA Cup) | 2:10pm
Grateful for every opportunity to compete, learn, and keep growing. See you on the field!
