THE BIG INTERVIEW
season left with Smith
College.
How has your
experience been of
joining up with the
Edinburgh University
BUCS and EUHV setup?
I’ve had such a great
time so far. The
coaching staff, and
the team has been
incredibly welcoming.
I love the integration of
the BUCS and EUHV,
as it gives university
players the opportunity
to play at an impressive
and high level of soccer.
Everyone gets along so
well, and it feels like a
big family!
You are a midfielder
right? How would you
describe yourself as a
player?
I am! I suppose I would
describe myself as
a playmaker. I enjoy
finding the small
pockets, receiving and
playing out of them. I
try to keep a 360 view of
the field in order to help
develop attacks. I also
try to play with 100%
intensity the entire time
I’m on the field, and
never back down from
anything.
What has been your
most memorable
moment of your career
thus far?
Making it to the
Western Massachusetts
finals in high school.
We lost, but it was the
first time our team had
gotten there in over a
decade. Besides, I’ve
never felt so much love
and passion on a team
before, and I’ll never
forget those girls!
Any footballing role
models either from the
professional world or
that you have worked
with?
Yes definitely. My
high school coach
Sean Flynn, who saw
potential in me and
helped me channel
my high intensity and
passion for the sport
to into positive energy.
Secondly, my former
club trainer, Rich
Powell, who I recently
reconnected with. He’s
done so much to help
me improve my game,
and I love working with
him.
Everyone supports a
team or at least has
a soft spot for one.
What’s your team,
football or otherwise?
Ah yes, I have to say, my
number one team is the
Patriots, the American
football team!
What are your aims for
the short time that you
are going to be with us
here in Edinburgh?
From a soccer
standpoint, improve my
