“I decided to attend the University of Virginia because it has the best of both worlds – an excellent school and soccer program. I wanted to compete at the highest collegiate level. I’m excited to have the opportunity to play in the ACC for the national champions.

I’ve had great coaches and teammates at Placer United and CDA, and under the Academy program, they have enabled me to take my game to the next level. The Academy has allowed us to compete against the best players around the country. The level of play is consistently high, and this competition forces every player to get better. CDA players are seen by hundreds of college coaches at Academy Showcase events. My coaches were instrumental in helping me communicate with college coaches throughout the recruiting process.

I would like to thank my teammates, all coaches and staff at Placer United and CDA, for all their help. I’ll do my best to represent CDA at UVA.”
