Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I am a quick and aggressive Point Guard. I am able to get to the basket and shoot from anywhere on the court with a high level of accuracy. My defense is strong and consistent. I read the floor very well, have a keen eye, and have a high level of understanding of the game. I am flexible, yet precise, and try my best to help control the speed of the game. I am proud to be a leader on the court.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I value being a "team player", as I often look for the extra pass to set up a teammate for success without fail. We win and lose as a team, and I am fully supportive & encouraging of my teammates. I look for the positive in things, and always look forward to getting to practice and games. I will always put in the extra work!

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I am a proud to be a strong and confident leader on and off the court. I am able to listen to others, show empathy, and compassion to others. I am actively involved in community service. I volunteer through my school, with my neighbors, and in the community. I think it is important to be involved and value helping others. I also love to share my talents with younger players.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
I have always played "up" in sports. It has been challenging to find my place amongst older players and to prove that I deserve a spot on their teams. Playing with girls older than me has really helped develop my game, raised my level of confidence, and taught me how to be inclusive to others. I have had some amazing teammates who have really taught me the value of supporting one another.
What type of college are you looking for?
At this point, I am open to any geographic locations and school sizes. I am looking for a college that will support my athletic ability. That has teams that are inclusive and supportive, and coaches that build up their teams - but also expect a lot from their players!
