Favorite Soccer Memories
My first memory is from 2018, it was the first time in over 30 years that the program made it to the conference final. We were winning 2-1 with a little over 1 minute left in the game, and our opponent had a corner kick. Their fans have been talking smack the whole game, but I was able to shut them up with a triple save from the corner to keep us in the lead, and ultimately win us the championship.
The next one is from 2019, we made our 2nd appearance in the NAIA National Championship, we tied 0-0 and went to PKs, and I was able to save two pks to keep the clean sheet, and help the team move on.
Hobbies
I enjoy watching movies (grew up watching Harry Potter, Fast and Furious, Rocky, and etc). I also enjoy cooking, and hanging out with family and friends.
Future Goals
As a competitor, I want to continue to play at the highest level that I can and for as long as I can.
More on the long-term, after college I started coaching and I really enjoy it, so eventually I would like to have my own goalkeeping academy to teach/share my knowledge and experience with young goalkeepers, with the goal of empowering their skills and assisting their journey.
