Frankfurt 🤍 will always be a special place for me. It was the city I started my professional soccer career. It was also a place I met some amazing individuals and life-long friends. This multi-dimensional city helped nurture and combine my passions of soccer, faith and community.

As a community ambassador for I am grateful to be able to continue fostering my passions all the while staying connected to my past.

Reflection on where I have come from and how far I have come, is a process of growth and perspective that is important to me.

From a young age, traveling has also been one of my passions. The opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and beyond my local community, and explore a whole new world has always been fascinating me.

Learning to be curious and inclusive and to be comfortable with the uncomfortable are daily practices. However, ones that can be life altering. This not only bring insights into our deepest questions and insecurities, but unleashes in us more than we ever thought possible and a revelation of our deepest dreams and desires 🤍

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month & the Month of Remembrance 💜

Every time I open my phone and go to my photo albums, I see this picture pop up. When my dad passed in Oct 2020, I created an album of him to celebrate his life. I often ask myself if I want to delete it, as it continuously reminds me of him and all he went through during his last year. Pancreatic cancer is no joke, one of the worst cancers, if not the worst, for patients but also for their loved ones. As I learn more about this dreadful thing, I realize I was on the lucky side with having almost a year to process it all and spend some more time with him. Not many are fortunate to have the time with their loved ones that I did with him. Looking back I wish I would have spent even more time with him. As hopeful as I was, I also wasn’t fully aware of the reality of the situation and was also so consumed in my own life at the time.
The reality of this disease is simply not good - I hope and pray that through more awareness, prevention and support for people going through it, in whatever way, there can be more comfort and peace knowing we are fighting this battle together.

So, no, I do not want to delete the album. I smile each time I see this picture pop up and remember the good times we shared 🫶

Happy Birthday Pops - 11/8 💫
