Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a newly playing Combo Guard it is becoming more and more easy for me to take the lead on court. I was used to playing the post but because of my height I am changing positions. On defense I am definitely an aggressive player always going after that ball to block or steal the ball. All around I am trying to be the best version of the player I want to be which is better than yesterday.

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

I am definitely a leader and always taking initiative in all aspects of my life not just basketball but academically as well. I am fun and love to listen to music.

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

Play club basketball but I am always looking for stuff that interests me in school and my community.

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

I am a leader, and I work great on a team. Playing sports helps make you a team player and learning to working together with other people of all different backgrounds.

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

Yes, I sat out most of my 8th grade year of basketball for a sprained ankle and I also sat out most of my freshman year of basketball for a torn meniscus. I am definitely ready to get back in the game as I have been training and getting my knee back right for sophomore year of basketball.
