Semiprofessional footballer at United Premier Soccer League, combining tactical analysis with player and coaching experience.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At United Premier Soccer League, I play semiprofessional football and bring experience as both a player and a coach. I’m committed to developing as an athlete, coach, and leader on and off the field.
As a Center Forward at Whitestone FC and Fox Soccer Academy LLC, I played in New York-area football programs. I also completed Barça Innovation Hub’s Analista Táctico de Fútbol course.
At Riverdale Country School, I assisted with varsity soccer and track and field, and served as a middle school soccer and track and field head coach. I helped introduce students to running mechanics and soccer, and assisted with practices and competition instruction.
Alongside sports, I’ve worked in academic advising at Touro University and City University of New York-Herbert H. Lehman College. At Lehman, I advised students on academic plans and progress, and supported new transfer students with advisement and registration.
