Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
The community and environment was unlike any other campus I had visited. I could really feel the Holy Spirit wherever I went on campus, plus I really felt like this team was a family who had unconditional love for one another.

Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
I always talk to my dad before and after the game to go over the game and get advice.

Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My parents inspire me a lot. They have always worked hard to provide me with opportunities that they never had when they were younger. It inspires me every day to work as hard as them in order to accomplish great results.

What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
My most memorable athletic accomplishment is our ECNL team winning Showcase B in playoffs and having a representative from the Mexican National team talk to me after the game.

If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
8 is important to me because one of the players I like watching, not for the team, is Andres Iniesta.

Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
My favorite meal is ramen! I love the authentic flavor from authentic ramen, and it has been something me and my dad had as our little “thing”. Whenever we travel somewhere new, we try to find a good ramen place.

What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
The weather app.

What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
My favorite hobbies are painting, reading and camping.

Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
I have a golden doodle named Bruno.

Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Luca Modric

What is your favorite possession and why?
My favorite possession is my memory box because I always love looking through fun memories from the past.

What is your Go-To karaoke song?
Baby by Justin Bieber

What is your dream vacation spot and why?
My dream vacation spot is Greece because it's so beautiful and right next to the ocean.
