Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I can fill up the stat sheet. Currently, I almost average a double/double with points and rebounds. I almost always have more than 5 assist and 3 steals a game. I get deflections, I set hard screens, I will do whatever the team needs me to do and I can defend all 5 positions (and do in both club and high school). I have played in different systems (Motion, Princeton, and Triangle).

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

I thrive in environments where there everyone is playing for each other and a higher goal and not themselves individually. Most my teammates would probably say I'm funny, a good passer, and calm under pressure. I try to focus on just now and doing the best I can in the moment, not worrying about the past or the future.

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

I have been part of Junior Chamber Music as a pianist since the age of 7 and continue to perform as a pianist. I also volunteer at Lyceum Village to help with kids that have some mental disabilities using sports and music.

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

I have done various types of community service at Lyceum Village which is a non-profit program. I also did community service in middle school at LMA where I attended the magnet school. I'm constantly looking for opportunities for personal growth academically and within basketball community.

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

Besides the typical challenges that all athletes have such as injuries, etc. my most significant challenges have been with serious health issues of my father who has been my biggest supporter. I try to use life challenges as my driving force to continue to work harder and get better each day.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for an excellent academic school with a stable basketball program where I can spend 4-5 years (may be a red-shirt year?) growing as a student and as an athlete. I want to go somewhere that I can make a difference with a healthy locker room environment.
