I began playing soccer at age 5 and when I’m not studying for school I am usually on a soccer field or in my back yard training. I’m a serious student with a high GPA in the IB (International Baccalaureate) program at my high school. I’d like to study Science in college and have interest in helping people. I also like to take long walks with my mom, watch basketball with my dad, and play with our dog, Mary. My favorite movie is Pitch Perfect and I have seen every season of The Office three times.
