Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I pride myself on being a tough rebounder and defender, always battling for position and locking down my matchup. I see the floor well and make smart decisions, whether it’s knocking down an outside shot, posting up in the paint, or finding the open teammate. I’m working on expanding my midrange game to become even more versatile, but no matter what, I bring grit and basketball IQ to every play.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I play every game like it’s my last — not for the spotlight, but to outwork everyone on the floor. I’m the one diving for loose balls, crashing boards, locking in on defense, and doing the little things that change the game. I lead by example — through effort, focus, and grit. When others are tired, I keep going. When things get tough, I stay composed and push harder.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
