Breaking Barriers in Kansas City

I’m excited to share my recent feature and interview on Telemundo KC as part of their Our Teams series! This incredible segment highlights the stories of Latinos breaking barriers in sports here in Kansas City, and I’m honored to have been included alongside other amazing athletes like Alenis Vargas.

For me, this journey has always been about more than just soccer. It’s about constancy, perseverance, and effort—values that have shaped my career and continue to drive me every day. Representing the Kansas City Comets and sharing my story is an opportunity to inspire others to pursue their goals, no matter the obstacles.

During the interview, I had the chance to reflect on my path as a professional soccer player and how my Brazilian roots influence both my playing style and my approach to life. Whether it’s on the field, in the community, or at my Playmaker Soccer Academy, my mission is to lead with passion and purpose.

A big thank you to Telemundo KC for shining a spotlight on these stories and for giving me the platform to share mine. You can watch the full segment below—let me know what you think!

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s keep breaking barriers together!
