“I am honored to be committing to Sonoma State University and their soccer program. Last year, I attended a Seawolves camp and knew it was a school I wanted to attend. With encouragement from my family and after visiting many other colleges in and out of state, it has become clear that I belong playing for Sonoma State. I am excited to play for Head Coach Emiria Salzmann Dunn and assistant coaches Crystal Howard Chaidez, Mark Dunn and Katie Turtle when I officially join the team in 2016. I will be studying Kinesiology in hopes of pursuing a career in athletic training or sports psychology after graduate school.

Thank you to my Placer United coaches: John Chimienti for first selecting me to play U11 at Placer, Bart Morefield for helping me realize my true potential,  Todd DeCarlo for dedicating so many hours to making me a better player and assisting with my recruiting process . Thanks as well to Director of Coaching and my Varsity Coach at Del Oro High School, Ron Benjamin. Ron truly goes above and beyond for Placer and his players and for that I am grateful. I look forward to two more amazing years with my teammates and best friends. They always push me to be my best and I am grateful to call them family. Finally, I cannot say “Thank you” enough to my parents and sister for supporting my love of the game and always being there. God is good!”
