PERSONAL

Parents are Thuan and Ann.
Has two siblings, Austin and Tyler.
Started playing soccer at age 4.
Before a game, she listens to music to sharpen her focus and get in the right headspace to compete.
One pregame ritual is to always put on her left sock before her right.
- “It may seem simple, but that bit of discipline and consistency grounds me. It’s a reminder that even in the chaos of competition, I have my own sense of order.”
Enjoys listening to “Cool” by Daniel Caesar.
Best advice she’s been given is “Mistakes aren’t failures-they’re lessons in disguise.”
A nursing major.
