Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a dedicated, high-energy player who thrives on both ends of the court. My consistent commitment to skill development, conditioning, and basketball IQ prepares me to compete at the next level. I bring a strong work ethic, discipline, and a coachable attitude that helps me adapt quickly and contribute effectively to a team environment. I'm eager to bring my competitive spirit this season!

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

I am a communicator on the court. I train extra hours on my own, aside from my HS and Club Coaches schedule. Something that really sets me apart is that I do not compare myself to others or become easily distracted by the success of others, but rather work super hard to accomplish the job that is expected of me both on and off the court. This is how I rate success.

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

Senior BETA, Student Government Class Rep, National Honor Society Inductee 2024-2025, TKA HS Ambassador 2024-2025, Smoky Mountain Youth Leadership (SMYL Class of 2025), Highest HS Mathematics GPA Award 2023, 2024, All AAA Honor Roll 2022-2023, 2023-2024, 2024-2025

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Some of my skills and qualities are effective communication, active listening, problem solving, adaptability, positive attitude, empathy and the ability to motivate others! I enjoy working on community service projects with the class of 2027 at TKA, SMYL, and my church youth ministry. We>me.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

My National Travel Basketball Coach of 7+ years has decided to not Coach my 2027 team any longer. So for the first time, in a long time, I will be stepping out to find a new travel team. I know that stepping out, meeting new coaches and teammates will be a big leap but I am ready to challenge myself so that I can become a better basketball player, and leader on the court.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college with in a 5 hour radius from East Tennessee. I am undecided what I will major in as of yet. I have a variety of interests. I have big dreams of playing College Basketball, there is a perfect program out there that will be a perfect fit for me, where I can help their program.
