Describe a memorable soccer experience you've had.
Scoring a hat trick in the Presidents’ Day tournament I played in with my team.
Tell us something about yourself you are proud of that is not soccer-related.
I used to be scared of performing on stage, but last year I tried out for our school musical and got to play “Michael Banks” in Mary Poppins. Now I’m not afraid anymore and love doing plays!

Favorite Teacher & Why?
Ms. D’Orazio who was my teacher in 1st Grade. She loves Philly sports as much as I do, so we always talked about games and players. She’s cool and being in her class was really fun.
