"The life of a student athlete varies amongst everyone. They will all experience different feelings, events, and hardships during their time at the collegiate level, however, they shouldn't have to struggle alone. Student athletes struggle on and off the field and it is important that the necessary resources are provided".
I am currently a senior at GoldeyBeacom college majoring in Psychology. I plan to graduate in the Fall of 2020 and then pursue a masters and doctorate in clinical psychology to one day become a sports psychologist. In high school I was always involved in sports at the school and on travel teams. My high school team was Susquehanna Champions in 2014 and my travel team Delaware Rush were state champions every year. My individual accomplishments in high school include being names AllCounty first and second team and was named team captain of her team. In travel soccer I was captain of my team, I was selected for Rush Select, and I also played for Maryland ODP. I am currently going into my fourth season of soccer at GoldeyBeacom College after recovering from foot surgery and during the summer I play for the semipro team called Delaware Ospreys.
