I was born in Lima, Peru, and when i was 3 years old I moved to the beautiful island of Hawaii. Leaving Peru was difficult, it was hard to leave family and friends, and start a new life in a environment so different from ours. We had to Learn a new Language, and just start over from nothing. I can’t even imagine how hard it was for my parents, But they knew what had to be done to give my brothers and I a better life, and have opportunities they never had. Growing up I was always taught to work hard in school and do my always do my best in all I do.

For my family it ment business! I come from a very competitive family, it was “Go big or go home.” It was all about Winning and having fun, but there was nothing fun when your team is loosing. I started playing soccer when i was four years old, and by 8 years old i was playing club soccer, i played for Kona Heat FC, and when i was 10 i tried out for the Olympic Development Program for soccer in the state of Hawaii 97’ girls. I mad the state team four years in a row. By now i was playing for Kona Crush Academy and through ages ten to fourteen, i would travel to Oahu to play in state Tournaments, and in the summers i was traveling with the ODP State Team to compete the far west region State teams. My dreams at this age was so cliche to every crazy soccer kid, i wanted to go pro and play for the U.S. Soccer National Team. Nothing else really mattered to me, i had the potential and i was dreaming big, and wanted to go far, i had my heads in the clouds and the best supporting parents anyone could ask
