Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

A versatile and physical guard with the ability to score at all three levels while showcasing strong court vision to create opportunities for teammates. With my size and strength, I take pride in defending positions 1-5 when needed, bringing a relentless work ethic and commitment to both ends of the floor.

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

My mentality is to 'NEVER GIVE UP.' Basketball is a game of ups and downs—shots won’t always fall, but I pride myself on finding other ways to contribute and help my team win. Whether it’s through defense, hustle plays, or leadership, I’ll do whatever it takes. While I take the game seriously, I also believe in keeping the team loose with humor and energy, making sure we enjoy the journey while st

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

I am actively involved in the Youth Group at my home church, Temple of Praise, and I am also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at my high school.

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

My dad has instilled leadership skills in me for as long as I can remember. He has always encouraged me to be a leader and to challenge myself, even in situations where I fear failure. I am actively involved in my hometown’s local kids' basketball league, Faith Over Facts, where I help younger players develop fundamental basketball skills whenever time allows.

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

I have faced a few challenges in life, including the loss of my grandmother and both of my aunts, whom I was very close with, all within a five-year span. It was a difficult time, but it taught me how to navigate adversity. I know they are watching over me every day, proud of the young woman I am becoming. They are my ‘WHY’—the reason I push myself.
