Can you tell us about the experience you have had on your scholarship in the States?
What has been most memorable to you about your experience?
Achieving a 4.0 GPA in my first semester and reaching the conference play-offs. Enjoying and working hard with my class work was a highlight as I was happy it was rewarded with all A’s whilst also over-achieving beating ranked teams to make the play-offs this year was another. Moulding into a new midfield position is something I have relished too. I look forward to maintaining my grades and pushing for the national tournament next season.
Can you tell us about your plans for the future beyond graduation?
I hope to graduate with a Major in Interior Design and Minor in Architecture which gives me plenty of options regarding employment – SCAD having a 99.9% alumni employment rate which is encouraging. My student visa will allow me to seek internships in the States but I would like to continue playing football, hopefully professionally in Europe.
What advice would you give to someone who is considering a sports scholarship?
Go for it. It’s a once in a life time opportunity. I was very ‘on the fence’ as I had a good job and was enjoying my football in England but making the move to Savannah has been the best decision I’ve made. I have developed a career path for myself I never thought I was capable of and the level of football over here is good. It’s an excellent opportunity to develop yourself as a person and as an athlete. I couldn’t recommend it or U.S Sports Scholarships any more.
