“I would like to say that I am so very grateful and honored to become apart of the soccer program at Sierra College. I have been with Placer United for the past nine years and its unbelievable that I’m coming to the end of my senior year. My journey with Placer has been one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’m thankful for all of the things that I have been so lucky enough to experience with this Club.

First I would like to thank my mom, dad, brothers, aunt, gramma and papa. You have all been so supportive of me throughout my life and I am so blessed to call you my family. I thank you for everything you have done for me during all of my years with Placer.

Second, I would like to thank all of my teammates. Each and every one of them has a completely different type of personality and they continue to surprise me at every practice. Ashley O’Conner, thank you for being my very best friend. I’ve been very lucky to have shared the past nine years of Placer United with you. I love you all!

I would also like to thank all of my coaches for encouraging me to be a better player each and every day. I would especially like to thank Cory Clonce, Todd DeCarlo and of course, Ron Benjamin, for being the best, most inspiring coaches that I have ever known and I thank you for all that you’ve done for me.

I am so excited to play soccer at Sierra! Good luck to all my teammates in the future!”
