Originally from Ghana, I came to the United States on an athletic scholarship, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, and am currently pursuing a Business Management Certificate and an MBA. I am a professional soccer player with more than 10 years of MLS experience. My coaching focuses on building confidence, technical skills, discipline, decision-making, and teamwork through positive encouragement and practical drills. I am also passionate about mentoring players and aspiring student-athletes, helping them reach their potential and explore college and career opportunities.
