Since I started playing rugby at 13, I have always been a very passionate and fair rugby player. Since that date, I never stopped both training and playing the best I can. I always give my 100%, no matter how adverse the circumstances are. I never give up! I’m a highly motivated person; always trying to encourage my teammates, so we can surpass our own limits every day.

I want to continue playing rugby at the highest possible level, while pursuing my undergraduate studies in the best academic environment that USA colleges may offer. In doing so, I will be able to combine all my passions while pursuing both my athletics and academic goals.

To succeed in rugby by representing my college, earn a degree with the highest possible scores, and then pursue a PhD in science.

I’m an easy-going person and always have a smile on my face. Life is too complicated to be worried about!
