Bio & Career
I am a Canadian with Italian and Portuguese heritage. I have been playing soccer for as long as I can remember. My father used to play and started coaching my twin brother and I from about the age of 4. I play a variety of sports and am quite skilled in athletics such as volleyball, basketball and badminton.
On the soccer pitch, I can play a variety of positions but coaches prefer to use me as an outside winger. I am adept with both feet but am LEFT-FOOT dominant.
Our teams have won several city and provincial championships. The highlight of my soccer career so far has to be when we represented Alberta at the 2018, U-15 Toyota National Championships in Laval, Quebec. I played outside left midfield for the tournament where we placed third and finished with a bronze medal.
In April, 2019, I was invited, by the Vancouver Whitecaps Youth Residency, to a tryout for entry into their program. Unfortunately, a groin injury prevented me from showcasing myself to the level required by the program. Nonetheless, the experience was excellent and will remain with me forever.
I am a well-rounded individual with a strong work ethic and an unparalleled desire to succeed and I look forward to any opportunity that may come my way. I will be sure to make the best of it.
