FeaturedAbout Athlete
I am looking to experience the combination of studying and playing high-level soccer in a professional environment. I hope this will strengthen my soccer game and make me a top-level player. I have not yet decided which career I want to have outside sports, so I am looking for a degree that will give me more opportunities to further study.

What makes you different?
I am an outgoing, honest and enthusiastic person who likes to learn and can easily get along with different types and groups of people. I am a real team player who takes responsibility on and off the field. As a goalkeeper I am calm, forward thinking, strong in the build-up with good kicking.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I want to learn from the American approach to sports in general and women’s soccer in particular. I hope this will help me on the field and in my future work. I am also looking forward to experiencing American college life and to meeting new people.
