About Aaliyah

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’d describe my game as a spot-up shooter who can stretch the floor and create space for my team. I use my length and movement to get open, and I take pride in being able to knock down shots consistently. I also try to run the floor hard, play within the team, and do whatever is needed to help us win.

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

I’d describe my mentality as competitive and team-first. I hate losing, so I push myself to always give my best and keep improving. I hold myself to a high standard, and even though I can be hard on myself at times, it drives me to be better. Personality-wise, I’m approachable, supportive, and I enjoy helping others. I like being part of a team, leading by example, and staying grounded through my

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

Yes, I’m actively involved in the National Honor Society, and I maintain a 4.0 GPA. I’ve received several academic awards for my performance in the classroom. Outside of school, I’m also involved in my youth group at Santee Community Church, where I enjoy serving and being part of a positive community.

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

I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork skills through basketball and being part of a close-knit team. I try to lead by example, stay positive, and support my teammates in every situation. Being in competitive environments has also helped me build resilience, discipline, and a strong work ethic. Through my involvement in church and youth group, I’ve grown in community service.

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

I haven’t faced major obstacles, but I challenge myself to perform at a high level. Managing the pressure I put on myself has helped me grow in confidence, resilience, and leadership, especially while competing on a young team.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for an in-state college that has a strong engineering program and a competitive basketball environment. I want a school where I can continue to grow both academically and athletically, be part of a team, and stay close to my family. It’s also important to me to be in a positive community where I can stay involved in my faith and continue serving others.
