bittersweet to be leaving a place I got the privilege of calling home for almost a year. Trying to describe the spirit and atmosphere of Porto, is next to impossible. To my teammates, and the entire staff, from the bottom of my heart— thank you for everything. Im so incredibly proud to be apart of history with this team & organization. Everyone who has supported me, near and far, this success is to be shared. WE ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 💙🤍🏆🐉 WE ARE PORTO
