Prep
Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
The people, their values and how they work with so much love and enthusiasm.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
Pregame, I try to relax and visualize the game.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My family and some people I know who have gone through very difficult moments and have been able to rise from them, they have always inspired me to keep going no matter what. If I really want something, I have to keep pushing and be aware that things won't always be okay. There will be moments of doubt, tough times, or just moments when you feel like quitting. But you should never stop if you're fighting for something you love.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
When I was selected as the best player in a regional tournament with the first division, and we were the champions in that tournament as well!
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
It didn't really have a specific importance or meaning, I just liked it! It's going to be important afterwards because of the significance it has had for me playing at Liberty!
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
Breakfast: Toast with egg, fruit, and some mate! I just really love starting the day with these. Lunch: Asado. It's not only about how delicious the meal is but also the lovely family moments that come with it.
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
Whatsapp
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Drink mate and hang out with friends.
Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
Yes! I have one, a poodle named Sol.
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Luciana Aymar and Messi
What is your favorite possession and why?
My whole mate set, because I really enjoy drinking mate whether it’s with friends, family, or by myself.
What is your go-to karaoke song?
Any Taylor Swift song.
What is your dream vacation spot and why?
Holland or Australia, because of the great level of hockey. I would love to be part of the hockey scene there. Also Hawaii to relax and enjoy some beautiful views.
