• Interesting Off the Field Info About Me: Before everything happened, I always thought to myself, once and athlete tears their ACL they're never the same again. When I tore mine October of my Senior year, I began to look down on the future of my soccer career. I remember calling Coach Todd one day after school and telling him the bad news. I was scared to tell him because I thought that he wasn't going to want me to play for him anymore. I just remember asking him(with tears in my eyes but also laughing), "you still want me though right?" And he said "of course I still still want you!". He reassured me that he had no worries about my athletic ability and to just focus on my rehab. That really lifted my spirits because I began to panic about all of the training I was going to miss right before the college season. My physical therapist, Chris O'Donnell, became the most important figure in my life for the next 8 months. His guidance and support through all of my rehab really helped me to get back onto my feet literally and mentally. He showed me what I was still capable of, if not more than before and he always believed in me. On October 28th, 2016 I tore my ACL, November 15th, 2016 was my surgery and on July 19th, 2017 I was fully released to play contact. I couldn't be more excited about this upcoming season with my new teammates and the adventures that await me at ERAU!
• I Chose to Attend ERAU Because:" I wanted an in-state college that excelled in engineering and I wanted to play collegiate soccer. I also wanted a smaller school with cooler weather than Phoenix."
