NCAA Division 1 Soccer Athletic Scholarship: San Francisco Dons (2015)

I have a major passion for journalism and am deeply interested in sport, music and fashion.
During my time at Yahoo! 7 I have published over 20 articles working as their football expert.
I am a highly self-disciplined individual focused on goal achievement and delivering to the best of my
capability. I consider myself to be disciplined, organized, hard working and eager to learn.
- More than happy to take calculated risk and thrive in a high energy and collaborative workspace.
- Family and friends play a key role also in my success to date and as such I feel my ability to build
relationships at many different levels has also been a key area to focus to ensure I keep balance.
- I have travelled internationally since a young age through sport and these experiences have aided in
my personal growth.
