I am a sophomore student athlete at Ithaca College, playing for the Men’s Soccer Team and pursuing a degree in Marketing. I spent my freshman year playing for the Clarkson University Men’s Soccer Team. I enjoy soccer as it’s my passion and most importantly an outlet for me, however I enjoy lots of extracurricular activities. I enjoy everything outdoors including fishing, swimming and hiking. I also enjoy anything involving business and entrepreneurial activities. Last year at my prior institution, me and two of my teammates created a business idea called SZN Gripsoles and competed in the NYS Business Plan competition. We were awarded 1500 in total funding and it is one of my favorite memories as a student-athlete. I believe that experience encapsulates my drive and balance as a student athlete, i’m excited for more opportunities to come as I navigate as a transfer student this year.
