Emran’s Bio
Hello, I’m Emran Ali–a passionate soccer player, Snowboarder, and first-generation student. I joined club soccer late, starting on the E team during U15, but I embraced the challenge and worked tirelessly to improve.

All the while, l’ve maintained a stellar 4.2 GPA, balancing high-level athletics with rigorous academics and the responsibilities of being the oldest sibling. My journey reflects resilience, determination, and a commitment to excellence.
