I am a recent journalist graduate from the Pennsylvania State University and a news junkie when it comes to soccer. I would stop anything to watch a game from the UEFA Champions League and the World Cup.
Currently, I follow the Brazilian national league, La Liga and the the Premier League. Yet I am interested in beginning to analyze more closely the MLS as well as the Italian Serie A.
Besides soccer I am passionate about the NBA, UFC and F-1 racing.
