Born and raised in London, Ontario, I began playing soccer at age seven. From U8 to U13, I played with London TFC, where I developed a strong soccer IQ—learning key aspects of the game such as scanning and planning, maintaining a fast-paced one-touch rhythm, solving opposing presses, and breaking defensive lines. My time there taught me how to be a strong, reliable team player.
In 2024, for my second year of OPDL (U14), I joined Whitecaps FC London because of their strong focus on individual player development. I wanted to be part of a program that would challenge me and push me toward my highest potential. The balance of experiences from both clubs has shaped me into a player who can contribute effectively to the team while also being impactful as an individual.
Over the past year, I’ve gained greater confidence in my decision-making, improving my ability to make quick, intelligent choices—knowing when it’s time for a “we” moment versus a “me” moment, and understanding which serves the team best in each situation.
In July 2025, I was invited to train with the FC Alverca Sub-15 team in Portugal. Their coaching staff praised my technical skills and tactical understanding, discipline, respect, explosive speed, and strength. They also encouraged me to take more creative risks to reach an elite level. Since returning from Portugal, I’ve used that feedback as motivation to keep improving every day, with the goal of becoming the best player I can be and competing at the highest level possible. |
