“I’m incredibly excited and grateful to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Santa Barbara City College!

First and foremost, I want to thank God for His constant guidance, strength, and for opening this incredible opportunity. None of this would be possible without Him.

Dad—thank you for your continuous support throughout this entire process. Thank you for all the time, effort, and sacrifices you’ve made to help me become the person and athlete I am today. From Day 1, you’ve believed in me and supported me tremendously.

Mom—thank you for always being there for me, for your love, encouragement, and for supporting me through every step of this journey. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

To Coach Ron, Coach Jon, Coach Kristina, Coach Ronil, Coach Iain, and all of the other coaches who have been a part of my journey, thank you for believing in me, pushing me to become a better player, and helping me grow every step of the way. A special thank you to Coach Ron at Placer United for challenging me every day and helping me improve.

To my teammates, thank you for all the memories and for always pushing me to be my best.

A huge thank you to Coach Zermeno, Coach Alvarado, and the entire SBCC coaching staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career as a Vaquero.

I’m incredibly excited for this next chapter, the opportunities ahead, and everything I’ll learn on and off the field. I can’t wait to get to work and represent Santa Barbara City College.
