More about how I got here…
Where I Started
I started playing travel soccer in the fall of 2016 for Newtown Soccer Club and immediately put my hand up to play keeper. What followed was 7 years of competitive development, including runner-up for the CT Cup (U13). In addition I played three years in goal for CFC Samba out of Bethany, CT (2018 - 2020)
Where I’ve Been
I’ve played varsity at Newtown High School for my sophomore and junior seasons (just wrapped), and traveled to Sweden to compete in the Gothia Cup in July 2023, where my side made it out of the group stage with me as the starting keeper. Back at home year round, I still play for Newtown travel every spring (U20) and for AC CT (2021 - present). I’m also an assistant keeper coach for the Newtown Soccer Club, developing skills for the youth keepers.
Where I’m Going
I have been privileged to play in a well-coached and cohesive squad for many years in Newtown. This has taught me the power of focus, teamwork, and discipline to produce an excellent result. I seek a DI or DIII soccer program and a high academic college or university so that I can continue to develop in the sport as I challenge myself intellectually, among peers and coaches whose vision and ethic push me to raise my level.
