Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Strong defensive, intense gameplay, good gameplay iq

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

I push myself to be the best person I can. When I make a mistake I know I can do better so I practice more, but I try not to put myself down. My personality is very shy until I get to know you. When I meet people I am a little crazy but I know when to take things seriously. I try to be the kindest and most caring person I can be.

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

In addition to basketball, I play softball which is another one of my passions. I also love to bake and cook, although I am not very good at it

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

I have developed a great sense of teamwork. It takes a strong bond with your team to be able to play basketball successfully. I try to encourage my teammates when they make a mistake and encourage them to keep taking that shot or keep looking for that pass.

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

There aren’t any significant challenges, but one challenge that everybody has faced was Covid-19 and this set me back a lot. I couldn’t focus and developed a terrible mindset with my body and the way I looked and I wasn’t able to play basketball with my teammates.
