What are your favorite things about soccer? “My favorite thing about soccer is the team bonding, you get to meet new people and make friends all around.”

When did you start playing? “I started playing when I was like 4 or 5 years old, but I didn’t play competitively until I moved to the US when I was 12 years old.”

Why did you start playing? “I started playing because of my Dad. He told me I should pick a sport to play and I chose soccer.”
