I’d like to thank the Redlands coaches for giving me the opportunity to play. I’d like to thank both of my parents for their constant support and sacrifice. I love you guys! I’d like to thank all my coaches throughout my soccer career, who trained and got me to where I am today. And my best friend lexi, who reminded me always, that my worth was never tied to an athletic performance!
