What made you want to join WCWFC?

Joining WCWFC felt like a great opportunity, and after speaking with Nicole, the club’s owner, and seeing the passion, commitment, and community she has built around the club. I knew I wanted to be part of it.

Favourite achievement within football so far?

Everything that I achieved in the USA within half a season. I scored the most goals out of everyone in my conference and got freshman of the year. I was really proud of that.
