About Athlete
My intention attending a college in America is to perform not only on the rugby pitch but in my academic studies. Not only do I have the experience playing rugby in Barbados, Australia, and New Zealand but I have also attended secondary schools in Barbados and New Zealand attending St. Winnifred’s School, Harisson College, and Palmerston North Boys High School. I am highly motivated to work hard in both academics studies and sport, with my objective to leave a positive impact on the team.

What makes you different?
I began playing Rugby 7’s at 15yo and made the National 15s team at 16 playing against international senior players. At 17 I played for the countries men’s 7’s team and then made the decision to move to New Zealand to finish High School and experience a higher level of rugby. Now having had played and experienced Rugby in Barbados, Australia, and New Zealand. My dedication and sacrifice to leave my family and friends in Barbados to gain more experience culturally and skillfully in the game are what set me apart from other players.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I would like to compete in college rugby because of the growing interest in Rugby as a sport in America. Along with learning more about the game with great college coaches.
