I am a fierce and passionate competitor who strives to perform for my family, school, coaches and most of all my teammates on and off the field. I play fluid on the field thanks to my talent and strong desire to win. My coaches in the past and present have utilized my natural talents in areas and spaces where we may have had an injured player.

My strongest position is on the defensive line. I love to defend and pride myself on performing to my very best no matter the match or top talent. My strengths are anticipating the passes and getting right on the receiver so I can force the first touch, win the ball and challenge them 1v1 so as to capitalize offensively.

Whether playing outside back or center back I’m physical, aggressive and have the stamina to play the entire game against some of the best talents in the nation. I’ve played as a starter on the Tampa Bay United since 2022. I realize you have to earn to be a starter so it motivates me to bring my best game each time.

PERSONAL: My parents are Meb and Yordanos and I have two sisters named Sara and Fiyori. My father is a 4 time Olympian, Olympic Silver Medalist in Athens and winner of the Boston and New York City marathons. Growing up around his dedication and work ethic has taught me the importance of discipline, mental toughness, consistency, and doing your very best.
