18 years ago I discovered my first love. This beautiful game has been the biggest part of my life since I could walk. 4 years of recreational soccer, 10 years of club soccer, and 4 years of D1 college soccer.  This semester I made the hardest decision I have ever had to make, and I have chosen not to take my extra years of eligibility. After these past 4 years of college soccer, 3 knee surgeries, and a lot of silent pain, my body was telling me it’s time to hang up the cleats. I am now choosing to solely focus on my education and on my dream- pursuing medical school so I can help athletes get back on the field just like my doctors helped me. Without soccer, I would never have become who I am today... I would have never learned discipline, hard work, passion, teamwork, and most of all, PERSEVERANCE.  The obstacles I overcame have opened new doors in my life, and I would have never discovered my new dream without having my own knees cut open a few times (haha). I am so thankful for the lifelong friendships I have because of this sport.  Thank you Mom for your unconditional love and support for me throughout my soccer career. Thank you Dad for being the best coach, mentor, friend and father during this journey the past 18 years.  I would be nowhere without you two. Proud to officially be a Texas Soccer Alumni. I will always love this game, but here’s to a new chapter of my life ✨🤘🏽 #LegendsFC #TexasSoccer #loveforthegamealways
