I grew up with two big passions: soccer and learning. Both shaped who I am today.

Soccer taught me discipline, resilience, and opened the door to Stanford. STEM gave me the tools to thrive once I was there.

But it wasn’t always easy. Math was challenging at times, until I stayed after class with my teacher who showed me that, just like in sports, practice and reps makes all the difference. That spark of encouragement gave me the confidence to keep going.

That’s why I’m supporting Learn Fresh. They bring STEM to life in ways that are fun, relevant, and accessible — especially for kids in under-resourced communities. Their programs help students discover confidence, joy, and opportunity.

If you’ve ever had someone believe in you when it mattered most, you know how powerful that can be. I hope you’ll join me in giving that same spark to more kids.

Together, we can open doors — on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
