Goals:
I hope to be not only a contribution to my team’s success but to be a stand out player that my teammates can depend on in big moments. I want to win championships and make history at my college. I would like to carry on with the degree I am currently doing which is a BA General and later finish that degree with flying colors. I want to play at the highest level possible at my college, and I want to be a stand out player for my college when we win championships. My long term goal would be to play in Major League Rugby.
