About Athlete
I was born and raised in Argentina. Moved to Canada in 2021.
Soccer has always been a big part of my life. I simply love the sport. It is my big passion.
My history with soccer has always been about pushing my limits to become the best that I can be. Commitment, focus, mental strength and motivation to stay healthy, as well as enjoying team environments are the results of a lifetime playing the game of soccer (or Football, as we call it back home).
I am a person who loves to hang out with family and friends, play and watch different sports and travel discovering places.

What makes you different?
I can strike, I can make others strike, and I can also make a team play.
I can say that I am different because of the different experiences that I have been exposed to in soccer. I have played in Argentina since I was 5 years old, where I developed my identity and character by facing competitive teams such as River Plate, Platense, etc. Playing in Argentina for 10 years taught me what's necessary to succeed at the best levels no matter what.
Secondly, I am a very coachable player. Throughout my soccer career I worked with several coaches, learnt from all of them and always found a way to become a key player for their teams. I always adapt and always keep improving. I am an avid listener who takes feedback in a positive way.
Lastly, I love challenges. No matter the team I play for or the opponent I face, I just want to be the best. I will always work hard and do what is necessary to succeed.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I think College is the best environment to further develop two essential disciplines: Sports and Studies.
Competing in College will give me the chance to become a well rounded individual, who aims to reach his sports and study potentials.
From a Sports perspective, I see University Soccer as the right progression for me. I would love to be part of a team that works really hard to achieve their goals. I am sure I can really help those kind of teams.
College Goals?
My goal is to obtain a scholarship to attend College and play Soccer in a competitive level. I want to be part of a team and enjoy the atmosphere.
Academics is a key aspect of my life. I aim to push myself to become an even better student to forge my professional career, but also to help my team to become better.
