Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I have a very long, but tall frame. I can work the guard sport and the post spot. I like to transition the ball right from the rebound. I can be the rebounder, passer, or runner.

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

I have a very competitive, but fun mentality. I am always trying to make everyone else better but I continue to work on improving my skills. I have an entertaining personality and love the game.

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

I am involved in many outside clubs and other sports. I currently manage the Varsity team (since I am in 8th grade). I am also engaged in soccer, track/field, and volleyball. I am a part of the student government and the honor roll.

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

I grew up doing a lot of community service. I am a part of the Hebron Haunted House which helps raise money for the Hebron Angel Tree. We raise over $10,000 each year and get to shop for families in need during Christmas time. I have developed leadership skills from being brought up to play a grade higher than I was (since sixth grade), and this allowed me to work on my playmaking.

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

I have faced challenges. I transferred schools in my eighth-grade year, and I had a more shy personality at the time. I was welcomed with open arms and never looked back. Those girls are my friends and teammates now.
