About me as a player

I am currently playing for Ter Leede Women, competing at Hoofdklasse / Topklasse level (depending on Saturday team placement).My best position is as an attacking midfielder, where I can use my creativity, 1v1 ability, and game insight. I can also play as a central midfielder and contribute in wider attacking roles when needed. I am a creative, dynamic player with a background in elite youth development, including multiple seasons competing in boys’ leagues and academy experience at ADO Den Haag (U16 & U17). I have played at a high competitive level from a young age, winning multiple championships and earning individual recognition such as Player of the Tournament (LMTT 2019) and selection for Jong Oranje finals (2022). My game is built around speed, technique, 1v1 ability, creativity, and strong game insight. Coaches describe me as hard-working, coachable, and a positive presence within the team, with a playing style often compared to Ryan Gravenberch.

Why College Soccer

I am motivated to play college soccer in the United States because it offers a unique opportunity to combine high-level athletics and strong academics in one environment. I want to challenge myself against top competition, use professional facilities to continue my physical and technical development, and discover my full potential both on and off the field. College soccer allows me to step outside my comfort zone, grow independently, and experience a strong sports culture while pursuing quality education. I bring a disciplined, motivated mindset, strong planning skills, and a team-first mentality, and I am eager to contribute immediately while continuing to develop toward the highest level possible.
