Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a really outside oriented player. Any chance I get to shoot on an open look, I try to take it. I do love driving in and getting tough finishes. Keeping my teammates involved is one of my main priorities.

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

I love basketball because I feel as though my mentality is perfect for the sport. I love to win, I strive to do my best on the court always. No matter the situation I will always keep myself and my teammates uplifted. No matter what the scoreboard says, I won’t give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

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

I am involved in lots of community service, I participate in 4H and have received awards within that club.

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

I really focus on improving myself in sports and anything else to also help improve everyone around me. I would describe myself as a leader on and off the court. I do love to do community service around my town whether it’s helping the kids with sports camp or even just cleaning up around the town.

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

I have had previous knee problems where I have dislocated my knee cap. It was a very tough moment in my basketball career, and I did suffer mental and physical setbacks due to the injury. However, I have been doing physical therapy and it has made me come back stronger than ever and I cannot wait to keep working.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that supports all athletes in and outside of the classroom. I take my education very serious and strive to get good grades. I hope the college I go to has a strong academic oriented program for me to increase my knowledge, and has a good athletic program to better my skill on the court.
