Graphic Design & Soccer

In my spare time, I find immense joy in immersing myself in graphic design projects. It's a passion that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From experimenting with color schemes to refining layouts, the creative process captivates me. Whether I'm designing logos, posters, or digital illustrations, each project allows me to unleash my creativity and attention to detail. Graphic design isn't just a hobby for me; it's a form of expression that I constantly strive to improve upon, pushing the boundaries of my skills and exploring new techniques.


On the soccer field, I've experienced unforgettable triumphs and  lifelong bonds with teammates. Throughout my journey, I've been fortunate to contribute to the success of my club team, culminating in securing our club's first and second state championships—an achievement that fills me with immense pride. I had the incredible opportunity to represent my club team on an international stage, competing in a prestigious tournament in Europe—an experience that broadened my horizons and enriched my understanding of the global soccer community. Additionally, my tenure as captain for my high school team and consistent presence on varsity throughout all four years allowed me to cultivate leadership skills and foster a culture of excellence. Even after transitioning to college, my passion for the game remained undiminished, leading me to continue playing in my sophomore year and ultimately earning the award of Defensive Player of the Year for my school—a testament to my dedication and commitment to the sport.
