Describe how you work in a team with your partners.
I believe that no matter the age that you can always learn stuff from your teammates, so when I’m with my team I really try to listen to everything they say.
Athletic highlights and how you felt when you received them.
In 2019 I received 2 MVP’s in a Canada Day tournament because I worked like crazy the whole entire tournament, I ended up giving one of my MVP’s to a teammate of mine that I believe deserved it.
Involvement in other sports or extra-curricular. Why is it important for you?
I very much enjoy playing soccer but I do believe that other sports like tennis and volleyball are able to transfer skills into soccer.
What are your interests outside of sports? Why do you like them?
I really like doing mountain biking because it allows me to leave all my worries and doubts on the trail.
Who are your role models and why?
My role model is myself 10 years away because I know that I will never get to be my role model but it keeps me with someone to keep chasing.
What program would you like to attend in school?
I would like to do business or architecture.
How do you envision your school life in college/university?
I imagine myself getting up every morning really early before class to train, go and attend my classes and at the end of my classes, I can go and train with my team.
