Career goal:I have always thought about becoming an engineer or an applied mathematics major, but I have also considered becoming a dentist. In addition to this, an absolute dream of mine would be to become a professional soccer player, which is the thing I love to do most.

Favorite memory from high school: My favorite memory from high school was when, in 10th grade, my friends and I decided to go out into the courtyard to play soccer during lunch. We played a game where we had to keep the ball in the air. If it touched you last and hit the ground, you were eliminated until one person was the winner. We would play every day, rain or shine, and more and more people started to join us. Some days we could have upwards of 20 people playing, and we started to call ourselves Alleyway FC. It became a tradition that we kept all the way through my senior year.

Favorite quote:“Last year’s success is today’s expectation.”
