About

I'm an ambitious and disciplined footballer with experience in professional acadamy environments and international football. I have represented Bonaire at U17 and U20 world cup qualification tournaments, scoring two goals for the U20s. Before earning a call-up to the Bonaire senior national team and making my international debut. These experiences have helped me mature as a player, adapt to different levels and perform under pressure. I am coachable, mentally strong and always looking to improve. My ambition is to keep developing in a professional environment and reach the highest level possible.

Playing Style

I'm a composed and intelligent central defender who likes to play out from the back. I am confident on the ball, strong in build-up play and always look for the right pass to help my team progress forward. Defensively, I rely on my positioning, game-reading and tactical awareness to anticipate situations and stay one step ahead of my opponent. I stay calm under pressure and bring stability to the team.
