“I am really excited to bring the community of Greenville together this summer through the sport of soccer, and begin this new adventure with Greenville United. After having playing experience for three years in the NPSL, I know what it takes to be successful on the field, but also off the field with community engagement. I am really looking forward to bringing in a diverse group of players that will show our local talent here in Greenville and in NC, along with international players from around the world!”
