Originally from Scotland, I moved to the United States to pursue higher education and expand my professional opportunities. I am currently working toward a Bachelor of Arts in Biology, with a focus on the foundational sciences that will support my future goal of becoming a physical therapist.

  • Teamwork & Leadership: Led by example both on and off the field, fostering collaboration, trust, and motivation within teams.
  • Discipline & Time Management: Managed rigorous training schedules while balancing academics, which sharpened my ability to prioritize and manage time effectively.
  • Problem-Solving & Focus: Applied the strategic thinking from soccer to tackle challenges in personal and professional settings, finding creative solutions and staying focused under pressure.
